Image Files

I know VB6 but my main programming language is html so I am having a little bit of conflict between the languages and my understanding. In web design if I want to reference an image all I have to do is ensure that the "images" folder is inside the main folder and then I can shorten the path. An example is, if I am trying to show an image called earth.jpeg and it is in the images folder, all I would have to show for the file path as "images\earth.jpeg" and it would know that it must be the "images" folder inside the main folder and the "earth.jpeg" inside the "images' folder. Is there a way to do this in VB6, so that if a folder gets moved it is not looking for the entire path, "C:\Program Files\...."

If you store your images folder inside of the Application's folder then you could use

Code:

---


App.Path & "\images\earth.jpeg

---

Then if the Application Folder was moved the earth file could still be found. Hopefully that helps.

Or you could put in a resource file and not need it in a folder

Call it like this:
Set picture1.Picture = LoadPictureResource(101, "Custom")

Dear i have made a project in Vb 6 using SQl Server (desktop edition).
I want to store images into the database and retrieve it as well.

Please help me regarding this.

So start your own thread, don't piggyback on other people's
