Display pictures in Northwind on the VB form

Hi,
In Northwind , there is an employees table which store photos. It seems the
pictures are linked to the picture files because there is a photopath field
containing the path. When I try to display the photos on the VB form, it g
ive me a error. I used the same way to display the logos in the pubs and th
ere is no problem. In VB, I used ODBC data source with ADODB control and a
picture control. Could you try it and tell me how to solve the problem?
Thanks a lotHi
The Photopath column contains the path to the photo. This has a http address
which you may have to change. The logo column in the PUBS database (pub_inf
o table) is an Image datatype which is the same datatype as the photo column
in the Northwind Employee table.

As I don't have VB on a machine I can't, but I am pretty sure that the sampl
e program would work as it has been around for so long!! The code is using t
he photo column which it materialises by writing it to disc and then loads i
t into the Image control. If you stepped through the program you could check
that it wrote the file out correctly and you should be able to test loading
the file into (say) paint.
