    Is there any BLOB control ?

    Hi,
    Is there any control available in vb to directly assign
    RecordSet.Field of blob data type to that control and in return
    the controls will manage on its own to display that picture
    file.

    I have tried using conventional method it works but I want to
    know about such CONTROL .

    I am using VB 6.0/Oracle 9i

    Quick reply appreciated, Thanks.

    I doubt it - contrary to what you think a BLOB is not a picture.

    It is a Binary object, which will most likely be a file of some sort. Lots of Blobs are pictures, but it doesn't mean that all are! (I've seen many posts on this forum that store Word documents etc).
