很多兄弟在这里问关于VB6读写数据库中的图片的问题，在此有一例，希有所启发。
   1，以人名和相关图片为例说明，数据库为Access，有如下字段：Name char,picture OLE object,FileLength
Number。当为ms sql时，将picture改为lob即可。
   2，示例包含control：commom dialog,picture,listbox。
源码如下：

String, ByVal lpPrefixString As String, ByVal wUnique As Long, ByVal lpTempFileName As String) As Long
