Anyone know anything about converting JPG to Long Binary data within a dataset?
I need to "import" some JPG files into an access/ MSDB file in Long Binary format...
Anyone know any way of doing it

What language are you using? There must be a library for doing that already- try sourceforge.net if there isn't one built into the language /
app you're using - I tend to search it with google though, as its own search doesn't always work well.....

English!!
All joking asside... The data sits in an MSSql database... the images are stored in that database as a link to a physical file..
I have exported from that database a CSV file which contains the usernames and links to their respective photo...
I now need to import that CSV into a piece of software... however it wont accept the links to the file directly it will only accept the images in long
binary frmat...
So I dont mind what language I use I just need to change the "photo" field from a file location string to a true long binary...
Make sence... Im confused!
