Loading Field of type 'OLE Object' in Picture control

I have a database of 100 pictures. I want to build my own custom picture browser, to do this I need to retrieve an OLE Object picture from the database and put it into a unbound picture control. How can I do this?

Before posting this quesiton, I found all kinds of solutions the same as yours. I need a solutions that won't take the time or overhead writing to a file and reading the file to the picture control. It does'nt even make sense to do that, surely there is a way to read it from the database ole object right into a picture control or into a variable then to a picture control. I'll use this solution if I have to, but I am hoping to get code for what I am asking for.
