thanks.

the only way I am aware of is not related to a file but uses a sql server database (there is a binary datatype).

however, try opening the image in a text editor and you should see that it is already in binary format.

Hi,

Open the Image in "Binary File " Mode, Read using "Get" and save in TextFile using "Put"
Check this :

[code=vb]
Dim TStr As String
Dim FN As Long
FN = FreeFile
Open "C:\MyPict. bmp" For Binary Access Read As FN
Get FN, , TStr
[/code]

To Save in TextFile, open text file and use:

Put FNDest, , TStr

You need to set the string to the length of the input binary file before doing the get, so the get knows how much you want.

dim lngInputLen as long
lngInputLen = LOF(FN)
TStr = String(lngInput Len, " ")
Get FN, , TStr
