Imbedded Picture

[Guest]

I found a database on my server that has an imbedded pictuer in the form that
I woudl LOVE to use as a background. Is there a way to get the imbedded
picture out of the form and save it on my desktop for use?

Try this. Click the image control and choose Copy. Open Microsoft Paint
and click Paste.

Nope. The name of the file is not there. All that is in the Control is
(Bitmap)
Anything else.

RIP

Try this. Click the image control and choose Copy. Open Microsoft Paint

See the older Bitmap only solution here:

http://www.lebans.com/DownloadFiles/CreateBitmapFromPictureData.zip is a
database containing functions to allow you to save the contents of an
Access Image control a disk based Bitmap file. Specifically it creates a
Bitmap file from the PictureData Property.
