How can I save an image that I've added?

Hi there,

OK, so I've created a nice little database and a couple of forms and can now easily fill in those forms and add images to the image(blob) or (longblob) fields that I've added by right clicking on them! Very Happy

However, what I would like to be able to do, is to then be able to save those images back to the disk! I figured there would be a save or save as option if I right clicked on the image, but alas no! Confused

I've had a bit of a hunt around on the net and this forum, but come up against a wall.... does anyone know how to do this? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks
Jason

This - http://sheepdogguides.com/fdb/fdb1imag.htm - might help you. The author demonstrates how to access pictures which he has already pre-loaded.

The pictures can be held within the database or outside of it. He demonstrates both.

I have used his method and it works for me.
