In Access,c how do you insert a field for pictures ?

[Melinda]

I need to embed pictures in my database, a field in one of the tables is a OLE
Object type. In the data entry form, I click on the field is selected, and
then I click "Insert Object..." ,and an icon is then shows up. How do I get
the picture to show instead of an icon ?

What can I do to get the pictures to display, instead of the icon?

The Access version I have 1997, so I don't even know if it is capable of
insert pictures for differnt set of data.

Thanks

Embedding the pictures in the mdb file isn't recommended. It will cause the
file size to balloon. For tips on using picture, see this link.
