Save .BMP to Access database

This code will save and retrieve bitmap graphic files from an OLE Object field inan Access 97 database. The same principle applies to earlier versions of Access/VB, but I haven't tested them. You'll need to use the appropriate DAO library. Let me know if you find a way to save other graphic formats.

Original Author: Craig Boland

Inputs

A bit map graphic (selected by dialog box).

Assumptions

This is an Access 97 database, so you'll need the library, DAO 3.51 or later.

Returns

An IPictureDisp object to be loaded into a PictureBox.

Side Effects

Only works with bitmaps.
