Most of your code is clashing with win 7. Have a look at my tutorial here.

Then have a look at one of my old posts... here.

This is my code in adding picture to database:

Add this code to your module:

Public Function SavePictureToDB(tblName As String, _
                                WHERECondition As String, _
                                FldName As String, _
                                strFileNm As String, _
                                xcn As ADODB.Connection) As Boolean

   Dim FF         As Integer
   Dim rs_pic     As ADODB.Recordset

   Dim Fl         As Long
   Dim DataFile   As Long
   Dim Chunks     As Integer
   Dim ChunkSize  As Integer
   Dim Fragment   As Integer
   Dim Chunk()    As Byte

   ChunkSize = 16384

   FF = FreeFile()
   DataFile = FileLen(strFileNm)
   ReDim Chunk(DataFile)
   Open strFileNm For Binary Access Read As #FF
      Get #FF, , Chunk
      tmp_rc.Open "SELECT * FROM " & tblName & " " & WHERECondition, xcn
      rs_pic(FldName).AppendChunk (Chunk())
      rs_pic.Update
      rs_pic.Close
   Close #FF
   Set rs_pic = Nothing
   SavePictureToDB = True

End Function

To use it:

Call SavePictureToDB("Guardians", "WHERE ID = 1", "Picture", PicURL, cn)

"Guardians" is the Table name
"WHERE ID = 1" is the condition,
"Picture" is the OLE Object / Picture field in your database table
PicURL is the filename of the image you want to save in the database.
cn is your connection object (ADODB.CONNECTION)

Just play with the code above and customize it according in your needs,
