After searching through the forums it seems there is no topic discussing how to create a thumbnail of a picture you store into a BLOB Field in Access...

Is there a way to create a thumbnail of a picture stored in a MSSQL (or Access' OLE Object) BLOB?

I was wondering if when storing the picture into the DB you can manipulate the data to make a thumbnail (using an algorithm to create it, of course) and store it into a different field or if when retrieving the data from the field to manipulate the stream and turn it into a thumbnail before displaying it?

Thanks in advance for your replies
