How to Display the image?

[onlyonebui]

Hello everyone! Please Give me some guidance if u have any idea.

im doing a database using vb6 and access. im viewing my database data from access to vb using listview. each data in database have its own picture or image to display.

in the form where i put the list view, i put an image box and a command button to view the image. i only manage to found an example image viewer but not quite what i need. what i really want to do is simplify the steps to look at a data's image.

in my access dB i create a field to save the directory of the image. but i hv no idea how to open its image in vb even if i hv the directory.
how can i save the different image of different data?
how can i view the image directly on the image box when i click it on the listview?

if u hv better idea to view the image please lend me ur ideas.
u can consider my system similar to an employee management system that can save n show image of the employee.
this is the last part of my 1st dB project. i hope everyone can giv me some guidance. thanx~ :)
