How to add BMP image in OLE field
A complete tool for creating and managing MSAccess databases.

Hi Marciel,
In the hope that you are still watching this project, here goes:
I'm trying to create a database to use with a Brother label printer, and therefore would like to have an OLE column which can store BMP pictures. I can create this just fine, and when editing the data row I can click the ... to get to the OLE editor. I cannot however edit the text/HEX/BMP fields, and also cannot click the 'load from file' button (although I can click the save button :)). Am I missing something? Is there a way to add BMP files as OLE objects in a table?
Thanks in advance for considering my comment :)

Hi,
Thanks for reporting.
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to upload an image with MDB Admin. There is very few documentation about the OLE format, so I haven't found ways to create the necessary file headers.
Either way, I'll keep this ticket open and do further research at this point.
