OLE Object (Bitmap Image) Type?

J

Hi

I am having trouble returning a bitmap image from a field stored in my
database. The field's Tpye is a OLE Object and it holds a Bitmap Image, Im
trying to display the image on a Form after it has been retrieved using the
Dlookup funtion I've tried to assign a variable (rtImage)with various object
types with no joy. I keep getting a Tpye mismatch error message when I try to
link the field.

for instance:

Dim rtImage As Long

rtImage = DLookup("Product_Name", "[Main _ products]", "Product_Image =" &
Me.OpenArgs)

can Anyone help?

Thanks John

You have to use an OLE Frame control to display an OLE object.
