Hi

I am having trouble returning a bitmap image from a field stored in my database. The field's Tpye is a OLE Object and it holds a Bitmap Image, Im trying to display the image on a Form after it has been retrieved using the Dlookup funtion I've tried to assign a variable (rtImage)with various object types with no joy. I keep getting a Tpye mismatch error message when I try to link the field.

for instance:

Dim rtImage As Long

rtImage = DLookup("Product_Name", "[Main _ products]", "Product_Image =" & Me.OpenArgs)

can Anyone help?

Thanks John

I don't have all the info, but perhaps the bound column in your look up is the wrong one. Bind it to the other or another column perhaps? This is the source of many type mismatch errors with custom look ups (heck, even with wizard generated look ups coupled with custom code.)
