I don't understand what you are saying.   Documentation says nothing  
about returning EVPictType after reading from database.

 From documentation:

	Example:
  		fldPicture.WritePictureAs( inPict, EVPictureFormat.kJPG, 50 )

This is what puts the picture INTO database.  What the heck does this  
have to do with reading FROM database?
