Embedded Images

[DS]

If I embed an image on a form or a report does that mean I no longer
have to keep the directory that contains the images? In other words if
I load my Access application on another computer will the images still
show up without me having to load all of the images as well? Is there
any advantage embedding as opposed to linking?
Thanks

See the above for the only advantage. However, embedding only a couple of
images will significantly bloat the size of your database file. When you
have multiple images, linking is best. Also, if you embed the same image in
multiple forms and/or reports, you will again significantly bloat the size
of your database file. This might occur where you want to put a logo on
multiple forms and/or reports. In this case, ermbed your logo in a separate
form and/or report then use the form or report as a subform or subreport
everywhere you want your logo. The additional bloat will only be for
embedding one image.
