    Resolved [RESOLVED] Picture preview in form

    Hi,

    I have a database (mdb 2003) with few columns, one of them is OLE object (picture). On my form (vb 2005) almost everything works, adding columns, editing, saving but preview or opening the picture won't work. I tried picturebox, datagrid but nothing seems to work for me.

    Please help.

    How are you retrieving the image stored in your database? When you said nothing seem to work, what did you mean by that? Any exceptions?

    You might like to follow the Images In Databases link in my signature. You'll obviously have to use OleDb rather than SqlClient but I think it should work with that column type.
