OLE

[Tony]

I use an OLE field to store photographs as bitmap files.
I usually fill the field using drag and drop. Just now,
rather than dropping or pasting into the field as a
bitmap, I have a "package" showing in the record.

I suspect this is an OLE problem with Windows XP? How can
I fix this problem? Help appreciated.

There is example code for storing images in OLE Fields in the BLOB approach
example in the imaging sample databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com.

I previously had successful OLE records. Now, when I drag
and drop a bitmap the field indicates that the contents
is a "package" rather than a bitmap.

I guess I need to restart the OLE server - how do I do
this? Any help appreciated.
