convert base64 string to image in Infopath

[Charlie Genge]

Hi,

I'm a bit stuck at the moment. I'm wondering if there is an easy way to
display an element that contains the base64 encrypted version of a .jpg file
in Infopath. I got the base64 string by using an Access Database as the data
source. It would be great if I could use a picture/rich textbox control to
display the images that come from Access?

Thanks very much,

Charlie

I don't know if this is what you are looking for:

Hi Greg,

It was actually the other way round that I'm trying to do it. I've got a
picture (stored in an Access table) and I'm trying to display it in InfoPath
in a rich text box. When I do, it just shows me a couple of pages of base64
text which I believe is how XML stores images (or how Infopath converts
images to be stored in XML).
