Hi Siva,
I have the same problem and have been chasing it for a while.

First your need to change image.picture= to
image.pictureDATA=
as picture refers to a file source! and what you are passing from the picture box is a bitmap. So the data is being interpreted as a file nane and hence the error message.

THIS IS WHERE IT GETS HARD!
The error will change to:
2192: The bitmap you specified is not in a device-independent bitmap (.dib) format.

I have tried to use an Attachment image and an imagelist but still get the same error.
I can load the image from a file using image.picture=C:/icon.ico but do not want to use external files in my UI.

So:
Does anyone know how to convert an imagelist image or an attachment image to a DIB (Device Independant Bitmap) please? or have i missed something?
Appreciate any suggestions...

If you are doing this in Access then I fear you are trying to use an item which is not valid within the Access environment. If you are not using Access then you have posted to the wrong forum category.

to SOS: Yes in access 2007
As stated have also tried to use attacment images and OLE images but all these seem to store the image in a bitmap rather than a DIB!
need to convert somhow!
Appreciate any ideas.
Think it needs to call GDI APIs....
