Hi there,

Would like to know if there's a way to convert a JPG images (Header 0xFFD) stored in SQL as BLOB to MSAccess 2003 OLE Embedded images (Header 0x151C). I'm trying to automate and eliminate the cut and paste to our inhouse application (MSAccess 2003) and get the photo from one application and dump it in to our SQL where all the data reside.

What I have tried:

I tried DBPix activeX plugin to but it wouldn't convert it to OLE Embedded images. I don't want to change the whole application because it already grew into a monster.

Not really a good idea to store images like this in Access. Depending on the size and number of images the mdb file would grow huge. Remember that a single mdb has a max file size of 2gig.

I agree with AnvilRanger. A better approach would be to store the (relative) path in the database to the images which are themselves stored using the normal folder structure
