Display and Save a Grahic

Display and Save a Grahic

Question:
I have an application in which I have to enter employee info and save their photo. I can do that if I use a data control and bound control like Picture Box or OLE Control. I would like to do the same thing using DAO, ADO or RDO. Can it be done?

Answer:
Saving graphics in a database tends to bloat the database badly. You might consider storing a filename in the database that references a graphics file somewhere on disk. It will load faster, and is less hassle than storing it in the database.
