hi.
ive been searching for help with storing images in access. after much
hunting i found this bit of code that Cor Ligthert put up on another forum.
but when i try to update to the dataset, i get this error: system.argument .
exception in system.data.dll , cannot change data type of a column once it has
data.
for one thing my column is empty, for another, i get that message even when i
select "upload to dataset" without first selecting an image.
can someone please help?

Anewbie,
I tested the sample again and could not find really errors. (withouth a part
that could go wrong in wrong sequence (try to read a dataset and than
abording), I changed that). http://www.vb-tips.com/default.aspx?...6-38b5a2f7fdf0
However I have the idea that your problem has not to do with this, but just
with reading and writing a dataset to/from an access database. Can you
explain it a little bit more.
Cor
However in my idea

Anewbie,
I thought that the most problems were with Access in this the type of the
datafield.
I thought it was something as binary.

I have a system that basically stores a database within a database (I'm

Hi,
I am currently writing a news admin system. I would like to add the

Greetings all,
As a newbie, using Access 2000, I would appreciate advice on the best

Hi,
I need to add photos to my database. Back End is on MS SQL Server (I

I have read about storing the photos as BLOBS, but I am not sure how
to do this with SQL Server. Does this mean store the photo as OLE

I have also read about linking to the photo rather than storing it on
