I don't think it's possible to populate an ImageList control directly from a database. You'd have to extract the images from the database and save them to temporary files, then populate the ImageList from the files.

How are the images stored in Microsoft Access? Have they been saved as OLE objects or just binary data? What is the data type you are using?
As Phil mentioned, the images must first be extracted from the database and saved to a file before they can be added to an ImageList (using LoadPicture).

in access 97 i have declared the field as OLE type but as responded earlier by phil i am trying to save the image into the database by first converting the image into a byte array and then saving the image as BLOB (Using a temporary file) to store the picture
i am using appendchunk and get chunk methods to store and retrieve
is this approach correct!!!!!
