Extracting OLE data in "Picture" or "Microsoft Word Picture" format

R

Rico

Hello,

I have a table that is full of Word Documents and images in an OLE Field.
I've used Stephan Leban's utility to export all the documents into
individual files, but the problem is the BMP files aren't being exported
properly. Upon closer inspection, the OLE Type is listed as "Picture"
instead of Bitmap Image and also "Microsoft Word Picture". From this I have
a number of questions;

1. So I can build my own code, is there a way to determine the OLE Object
Type when referencing this field?

2. Is there a way to figure out how to export these "Picture" files in
anumber of different formats (bmp, gif, tif, jpg) in order to find a format
that works? (Currently when I double click on one of these "Picture" OLE
types, I get "The Picture doesn't support the attemtped operation".

3. Is there a way or does anyone have some code that will convert Microsoft
Word Drawing Objects to images that will work in RTF?

4. Is there an rtf control or format out there that supports Microsoft Word
Drawing Objects and Tables?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Rico
