Another Way to export OLE to JPEG....

[marc.welty]

Hi all,

I have browsed the message board extensively on how to export OLE
Objects as JPEG's and everyone referes to Stephen Lebans utility. I d/l
and it works great! HOWEVER, I want to try and write one myself,
without a lot of the extra filling. (I know the field in the table that
has the OLE Object) and and I just want to go straight there and start
the export process I guess in a different way......

In other words, I don't want to copy Stephan Lebans code with minor
changes, but after studying it, I am still a little unsure how the
process works. Is there a way to accomplish this task without using the
ijl15.dll??? Can you export the JPEG to a BLOB and go from there?

Once exported, I want to relink the JPEG's as an external link to a
newly created textbox and picture field on the same form, to get rid of
all of the bloat...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
