I would like to use my database to display pictures, is it possible?
If possible, how?
There are several ways to go about it. You can insert a picture into an
OLE Object field; however, that leads to serious database bloat (rapid
expansion in the size of the .mdb file) and is not recommended except in
special circumstances.
Better is to store the picture file itself in a designated folder on
your hard disk, store just the name -- or folder path and name -- of the
picture file in a text field in your database, and use the built-in
image control on a form to show the picture when you want.
A discussion of these methods, with code examples, is to be found on
