You can use the GetChuck, etc. methods to save any binary file (byte, by
byte) to a Memo or OLE field. You can't use access to store the images,
otherwise your only option is to use the OLE Container control and the Data
Control.
When you want to get the binary file from the field, you use GetChunk and
save the binary file to a temporary disk file, then use that disk file as
you will, e.g.: use LoadPicture with the file.
