Store And Retrieve Binary Data In MS Access Database
hi, I need to store a binary file into Access and later I need to retrieve it back to a file, I do this by:

Open "c:a.bin" For Binary As #1 Len = 1

'clear it content first
rs.Fields("MyField") = ""
For i = 1 To LOF(1)
Get 1, i, bite
rs.Fields("MyField").AppendChunk Chr(bite)
Next
rs.Update

The type of "MyField" is OLE Object, however, I found that each time the rs.Fields("MyField").ActualSize
increased by 2, so it is incorrect, but it will have error if I don't use Chr(), so how should I do in order to store it?

Also, I need to retrieve it back to a file, how should I do?

Thank!

Best Way To Store/retrieve Graphics...
I have an app that access graphics from a few different .zip files. I am using unzip32.dll to do all the unzipping for me. How the app works is the selects a game, the equiv. graphic from a .zip file is extracted and displayed. Works fine.
Is there a better, more efficient way of doing this ? For example, storing the graphics in a DLL file or some sort of resource file. I am new to the resource file and DLL portions so I'm not even sure if those are correct. But for grins, say I had graphics that were named 1.jpg - 100.jpg that I wanted to use, any ideas ?

Retrieve, Process And Store Dates In SQL Server 2000 On Distributed App
I am maintaining a client server app whose backend is SQL Server 2000.
Each client PC has a copy of the exe, not a shortcut to the exe on the server.
The app retrieves the server system date/time (with an SQL statement) refreshed every 30 seconds.
The legacy code formats all date variables in MM-DD-YYYY at the time of retrieval, processing and saving back to DB, I suspect largely because the time component has to be discarded.
This gives rise to many bugs, such as a date ending up in DD-MM-YYY format after being formatted just once on retrieval or if it is 'turned' twice before by the time of saving.
Also, in a client server environment, regional settings may vary from PC to PC and user to user.
What is a foolproof method of retrieving, processing and storing dates (with and without time component) regardless of format, regional setting, etc?
Please help.

Reading ADSI Database With VB && Store In SQL SERVER Database
This is first time I m looking for help in any VB forum I hope I can get some useful hint or help regarding my current problem. Let me describe in brief what we want:

We have one vb application which uses the MS-SQL Server Database. We want some changes in the login screen as per our new requirement.

What we want
1)We want to add one form which will show one button called ‘Update Users’ on clicking the button application will read the current users from the ADSI and store/update in the SQL-DATABASE(User Name and password in the existing table in our database).

2) When we will start the application system checks for the current windows user name and password if same user name and password exist in the MS-SQL Server database then there is no need to show login page but if the user name or password not in the database then prompt for the Login Screen

Please help me to find out how to read the ADSI Database using the VB Application email (bestloveh@yahoo.com)

How Do I Store A DataReport In A Database?
My question is: How do I store a DataReport in a database (MS ACCESS)?

Can I store it as a View if I have the SQL syntax that created it?

CREATE VIEW MyView (field1, field2)
AS SELECT ...
...
...

I run something like this above in a cxnAccess.Execute but I received an error of "Method execute of _Connection failed". I run it on a MS ACCESS 97 and on a MS ACCESS 2000 but the same error appeared.

Is there some other way of storing my SQL SELECT command that creates the DataReport in the MS ACCESS database?

Store Images In Database
OBJECTIVE: I have a combobox that shows a list of car names. I would like to make the car names kind of like a hyperlink that when it is clicked, a new form will show displaying image of the car.

My car names are stored in Access database. I was told that I could store images in the database and it can be linked to the car names inside, in order to do the above stated objective.

Anyone knows an easier way to do this..? Codings or links to the solution would be greatly appreciated. I heard that it is a very difficult problem to solve.

Thank you.

Store Vb Function In Database Field
I am busy writing a program used to calculate product date codes.
A typical date code would be: L4152D 12 05. This code is broken up as follows: The L is different for every product code. The 4 stands for the year. The 152 is the 152nd day of the year. The D stands for the shift inwhich the product was made (can also be N for nightshift) and 12 05 is the expiry date (some expiry dates have different formats). To summarise a date code stores customer specific information, date and shift of production and expiry date. I want to build this logic into a database. For each product code I can have a 1 to many relationship describing the relavant code. For example:

Product code
8652

Date Code
8652 L
8652 Year
8652 DayOfYear
8652 Shift
8652 Expiry Date

First of all how do I get the day of the year?
And how do I store a function like dayofyear in a database, I want to select the function from the database without having to interpret it before I can use it? I would also need to store functions like vbCrLf in the database.
How do I store these functions in a database?
