using a cam to create images in a form

[rick roberts]

i think ive read everythnig here regarding images. im lookingto take pictures of account holders within a table rather like the employees in northwind. i have seen a program that does this just by clicking a button which allows you to take the pic then keeps it with the record. unfortunately i only have access to the table and nothing else. the table column is a ole object and all i see in the records is "Long Binary Data" can anyone help

the alternative is to use the file dialog class i presume but i have had little luck with this as im not sure how to create this since all i have read points me to ms offive ver11 this does not show up in my list --i have chart , navigation control, data source control - is it one of these? -- also when i find it - if i choose it from the active x list it asks to register????
a lot of questions i know but hopefully someone will lead me along the right path
thanks in anticipation

You must view the table objects in a form to see the contents of an OLE object. Use the Form Wizard to automatically generate one for a quick preview. You can add them by right-mouse clicking on the object and selecting Insert Object.

i understand that - but that way you have to already have an image to load -- the program i currently use just has a command button that seems to bypass everything and take a picture using the camera software - point the camera at the person - click the command button and the picture appears in the form
