#133 How to add BMP image in OLE field

[Anonymous]

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.
