Hi there,

my suggestion is not a solution to your question, more a workaround...

First of all there is the question: is it really necessary to put the image data inside your database?

The answer is usually NO, until you are planning sophisticated solutions including replication and the like. Image data can not be used for sorting, indexing or anything else what makes handling data in a database efficient.

Suggestion: use another "database system" already on your computer, the file system.

Suppose your users are listed in a table named USERS and indexed with a primary key named UserID.

Simply create a subfolder named PICTURES where your database resides and put your users images there with a fixed name derived from UserID, like Picture17.JPG.

Then you can use the frameworks standard commands like Image.Save and Image.FromFile to access your picture data and there is no need to fiddle with binary data in access tables.

I'm doing some work with submitting graphics via ASP.net page to SQL 2000 server using VB. I know how to get a graphic into the database from a filefield control. I also know how to pull it out of the database and thumbnail it on the fly. Creating thumbnail on the fly seems extremely inefficient to me as this has to be done every time the image is requested. What I want to do is get the image from the filefield control, thumbnail it...
