The image component does not support the PCX format. You have two options however. You can create a descendant of TppImage/TppDBImage that can handle that format. You can also use the OnGetPicture event of TppDBImage to extract the BLOB yourself and load it up manually. There are a number of graphics libraries available capable of handling PCX formats which you can use. One is ImageLib available at http://www.hallogram.com/imagelib/.
