Gets or sets the PictureValue.

Notes

For most databases you will want to use the NativeValue property instead.

For situations where you need to set a database column to NULL, you should use the Value property like this:

rs.Edit
rs.Field("MyColumn").Value = Nil // sets to NULL in the database
rs.Update

Sample Code

Get the picture value of a column in a RecordSet:

// rs is a RecordSet with a picture column called "ProductImage"
Dim productImage As Picture
productImage = rs.Field("ProductImage").PictureValue

Set the picture value of a column in a RecordSet:

// rs is a RecordSet with a picture column called "ProductImage":
rs.Edit
rs.Field("ProductImage").PictureValue = Canvas1.Backdrop
rs.Update

Get the picture value of a column in a RecordSet, converting it to JPEG:

// rs is a RecordSet with a picture column called "ProductImage"
Dim productImage As Picture
productImage = rs.Field("ProductImage").PictureValue(Picture.FormatJPEG)
