Introduction
I have seen lot of queries about “How to insert an image into database as
well as retrieve an image from database?” at Developer Fusion’s forum.
I have developed an “ActiveX DLL” which will work on Microsoft Access
Database.
The name of that ActiveX DLL is “ADOPictDB32.dll”. ADOPictDB32.dll
one Sub Procedure and one Function
putPict(ADODB.Recordset, Database Fieldname, Temporary Filename)getPict(ADODB.Recordset, Database Fieldname, Temporary Filename) as String
Here putPict is the Sub Procedure, which takes an ADODB.Recordtset
object as 1st argument, Database Fieldname in which the picture will be held
as 2nd argument and the temporary filename as 3rd argument (this will held the
picture file temporarily). The Sub Procedure putPict is used to
put picture into database.
getPict is a Function which takes 3 arguments same as putPict
() Sub Procedure but return the filename. getPict is used
to get picture from database. The Database Type is Microsoft Access
The Database structure that I have used is given below
| Field name | Data type |
| Pid | Auto Number |
| Pict | OLE Object |
You must add ADOPictDb32.dll as Reference to the Project.
Would this DLL be able to retrieve Excel image?
