Store BLOB With Program Code In SQL?

I am having a problem storing an image as a Blob in a SQL linked table. Our system uses an Access 2002 frontend and linked to a SQLServer2000 database. I have a form that I want to display a unique client jpeg photo for each client record. Our client HIPAA concerns means we have to store the image not the path in the database field. I am using an Image control on the form. Initially I have been able to load an image from a Windows Dialog into the control and save the path no problem.

My issues are surrounding how to actually save and load the jpeg as a BLOB in a VBA byte Array after the image has been loaded to the form from the dialog box.(Is there some sort of binary conversion needed or does the Append and GetChunk methods handle all this)?:

All the code examples I have been able to find on the subject have a line of code to set the Image control's data source to the open recordset with this statement ---> Set imgDBImage.DataSource = rs. Does this statement work with VBA because DataSource does not show up as a property of an Access 2002 Image Control. So how do I point the Image Control to the table field which contains the BLOB in VBA code?

Finally, how do you convert the string path of the image to binary for storage in a byte Array in VBA. I have the syntax for a VB 6.0 which is..... .Fields("ImageBLOB").AppendChunk bytBLOB. Is the .Fields portion of the code relevant in VBA to tell what table field to write to and does the AppendChunk method handle all the conversion?
