Want binary data to show up as "Bitmap Image" with access/ado

Using VB/ADO I can get binary (Bitmap) data into a field of type "OLE
Object". But when I open the table, it field says "Long binary data" and
the form's Bound Object Frame doesn't display it as an image.

On the other hand, when I manually copy a BMP file and paste it into the
table, the text in the OLE Object says "Bitmap Image" and the form's Bound
Object Frame displays the bitmap.

I want my code to do the same as when I copy/paste a bitmap (not through
simulating a copy/paste operation).

Thanks for any help
