Problem saving image from vb6 to Sql 2000 with RhinoBull Procedure

Hi!.. this is the thread then

The initial problem I had was finally solved. The problem what that I created my Recordset as Readonly
Now the procedure ends correctly, but the data is not saved to the db column

This is the procedure as it is now

Code:

---

Public Function AddNewImage(rstTemp As ADODB.Recordset, _
                      id As String, sFileName As String) As Boolean
'=============================================================
Dim file_num As String
Dim file_length As Long
Dim bytes() As Byte
Dim num_blocks As Long
Dim left_over As Long
Dim block_num As Long

On Error GoTo ErrHandler
AddNewImage = False

  'I decided to use a Filter in order to find the record I need to update
    rstTemp.Filter = " id_Chofer = " & Cmb_Chofer.Text & ""
   
    file_num = FreeFile
    Open sFileName For Binary Access Read As #file_num
   
    file_length = LOF(file_num)
   
    If file_length > 0 Then

'I defined a BLOCK_SIZE constant of 250000 since my files will always be not more de 220000
        num_blocks = file_length / BLOCK_SIZE
        left_over = file_length Mod BLOCK_SIZE
       
        'Not using this, so no need to save it to the recordset or the db
        'rstTemp("fImageSize") = file_length
       
        ReDim bytes(BLOCK_SIZE)
        For block_num = 1 To num_blocks
            Get #file_num, , bytes()
'The field name where I want to save the image data is BioID
            rstTemp("BioID").AppendChunk bytes()
        Next block_num
       
        If left_over > 0 Then
            ReDim bytes(left_over)
            Get #file_num, , bytes()
            rstTemp("BioID").AppendChunk bytes()
        End If
       
        Close #file_num
    End If
   
'update RS
    rstTemp.Update
'Remove Filter
    rstTemp.Filter = ""

    AddNewImage = True

    Exit Function

ErrHandler:

    Debug.Print Err.Description
    Err.Clear
    'Resume Next
    Exit Function

End Function

Why is this not updating my table's column? It is defined as IMAGE

Thanks

It's difficult to suggest anything without knowing how fields are defined, etc info...
Why do you filter? Why not populating recordset object with just one record based on that id_Chofer instead?
What happens when rstTemp.Update is executed? Does it go to the next line or directly to error handler?
So, it's not the problem with what I posted long time ago but rather with what you have at the moment so you may re-title your thread. ;)

Hi, and thanks for your reply.

I will try to detail the whole scenario so you can understand what I am trying to do.

I have this little problem that connects to a fingerprint scanner and updates our Employees table. When I want to add a fingerprint to an existing employee, I first select the employee's id from a combobox (created using a Recordset that contains all the "employees" table data).
Then I scan the fingerprint, and save the image to disk (bmp_[employee_id].bmp)
Then I want to use that bmp file to save it to the database, in the BioID column corresponding to the selected employee.
So that is why I filter the recordset, with the selected ID from the combobox.
The BioID column is set as IMAGE in the database
When the rstTemp.Update is executed all goes fine, no error triggered, but then I check the record in the database, and it is still null.

Maybe the error has to do with the way I create the Recordset. How exactly do I need to define it in order to keep it connected to the database, and allow it to update the table upon rstTemp.update method?

Thanks
