My tinkerings lead to the following conclusions. Where images need to be compared for similarity, use Bitmaps. In Access DB the image whether JPG or Bitmap is stored as Long Binary Data. This happens when the images is loaded to the TBlob field. Accessing these Long binary data is quite easy if you know the correct algorithm for each type such as JPG, BMP etc. For more information on the implementation of this contact me or try 'shareware_builders' yahoo forum. Thank you.
