This code will save and retrieve bitmap graphic files from an OLE Object field inan Access 97 database. The same principle applies to earlier versions of Access/VB, but I haven't tested them. You'll need to use the appropriate DAO library. Let me know if you find a way to save other graphic formats.
Inputs
A bit map graphic (selected by dialog box).
Assumes
This is an Access 97 database, so you'll need the library, DAO 3.51 or later.
Code Returns
An IPictureDisp object to be loaded into a PictureBox.
Side Effects
Only works with bitmaps.
