Pictures from database

[Sam]

I have made controls for picturefields from Access database, but pictures
just woun't show when previewing. What can be done?

I have the same issue. I actually capture the signature on a pda and sync up
to an Access database. When I drag the signature field on to the form, its
datatype is shown as simple. If I try to drag a picture control on to the
form and try to bind it to the signature field in access data source, it does
not let me do it. Any help would be approeciated.

I found the answer to this issue. Infopath uses base64 encoding for pictures
so it has to be converted from binary format before one can see the pictures
