Hi Martijn Tonies

I am not using any DB component.
I use something like
For Storing
q.FieldByName('DOCMANIMAGE').LoadFromFile('c:/temp.bmp')
or
q.FieldByName('DOCMANIMAGE').Assign(Image1.Picture.Graphic)//where image 1
has the image of c:/temp.bmp

For Retriving
q.FieldByName('TESTIMAGE').SaveToFile('c:/temp.bmp')


I get the error the moment the query is opened
