asked on

visual basic.net 2005 front end and access 2007 as backend , need help with storing images

I would like to know if it is possible to insert an image (jpeg, bitmap) next to the path that already exists in access database and be able to see the image along with the path within the datagridview in visual basic 2005 run time?
Please let me know

You want to insert image path and image as binary data in same column?

This is what I have:
2 columns in access 2007:

Path to the file:                        Name of report that shows
Files\Building1.doc                   Building1

I am able to retrieve the name of the file and open it VIA the datagridview in vb.net 2005 but I also need to display an image under the same column as the file's name on the datagridview.

Please let me know how I can do this.

hi vs1784,
can you please explain what the code means line by line.  Do I create an access row for images or do I do it ONLY via code in visual basic?
thank you

hi vs1784,
Unfortunately, I do not need an additional image column, I need to have an image right next to the text under 1 column.
thank you
