Are you trying to use a TdbImage component? That component expects a graphic in
bmp format.

Access stored graphics in Ole fields but it also stores the ole server
information along with the graphic. If you need to use the databse with Access
this will be a problem. There are a few articles around on dealing with this
format and a 3rd party control or two that handles Ole field type in Access
Here is a URL for one of them
