thanks for the replies and i know u guys will help me. :)

From your code i am not sure what are you inserting into the picture field ?

Since you are using Me.Picture_box1.Text, i do not understand how that will store the picture in database.

so sir what code should i use? i am having trouble finishing this project.. please help! tnx

I'm really not sure since I do not bother w/db programming yet, although see if this helps.
.That thread link, saves an image to a .txt file and reads it back. Could be possibly done the same w/db, not just a TEMP .txt file, although not sure. Good luck.

see this if you can get help
