How to get embedded OLE objects out

[Aaron]

The database I am working with has lot's of graphic files embedded in the
database as OLE objects. Apparently this takes up LOTS of space. I was
thinking that if there was an easy way to extract the files to a folder, a
link to the file might free up some space. I have two questions pertaining
to this:

1. Will be more space-effective to remove the files from the database and
move them to a separate folder.
2. Does anybody have a tidbit of code that might help me get started with
saving the object to a folder?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Aaron
