How to code for BLOB ?

Question

I am having a table student with one field pics of data type BLOB.

Now I want to perform operations add/delete/modify on table but I don't know how to deal with BLOB because I haven't any idea about this data type.

One important thing is picture needs to be inserted using vb6.

I tried some very poor code for it like:

<br />
Private Sub IMAGE()<br />
Dim FILE As String<br />
FILE = App.Path 'path_name'<br />
If Picture1.Picture = Empty Then<br />
Open FILE For Binary Access Read As #1<br />
Get bytes<br />
rs("pics")<br />
<br />
End If<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />

Can you please help me.........
