BLOBS

[Kathy Zallar]

How do you store pics as raw-binary/blob data?? I am a
rookie at this. The DB I am working with is used by
approx. 100 other people, all of who will be adding
pics.....so it has to be user friendly.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

You could take a look at Larry Linson's sample database at:

http://accdevel.tripod.com

which I believe has an implementation written in vba code that you might be able to use. You would need
to ensure that all your users have the necessary Office Graphics Filters installed, or install them from
the Office CD if necessary.

Alternatively you could consider a custom control such as our own, which you can just bind and go, like
using a text control.

Or you can consider if you really need the images inside the database, and whether other approaches might
suffice.
