Here is the code to insert images to a Ms Access database!

File name is Image.vb
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Data
Public Class SaveImage
Shared Sub main()
Dim o As System.IO.FileStream
Dim r As StreamReader
Dim gifFile As String
Console.Write("Enter a Valid .Gif file path")
gifFile = Console.ReadLine
If Dir(gifFile) = "" Then
   Console.Write("Invalid File Path")
   Exit Sub
End If
o = New FileStream(gifFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read)
r = New StreamReader(o)
Try
Dim FileByteArray(o.Length - 1) As Byte
o.Read(FileByteArray, 0, o.Length)
Dim Con As New _ System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51;Persist Security Info=False;Data 
Source=Test.mdb")
Dim Sql As String = "INSERT INTO Images (Pic,FileSize) VALUES (?,?)"
Dim Cmd As New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbCommand(Sql, Con)
Cmd.Parameters.Add("@Pic", System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType.Binary, o.Length).Value = FileByteArray
Cmd.Parameters.Add("@FileSize", System.Data.OleDb.OleDbType.VarChar, 100).Value = o.Length
Con.Open()
Cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Con.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Console.Write(ex.ToString)
End Try
End Sub
End Class

A file will be inserted in the Database each time the code is executed.
