I would like to add a picture to a record but do not know the best way to do
it. From what I can see OLE gives the option to "link" to the picture file
rather than imbed the picture in the database which then bloats my database.
The "attachment" type field has a nicer interface when I put it on a form
but bloats the database. Is there a way to use the Attachment field type but
have it be a link to the picture.

Thanks,
J

Have you considered using the attachment field and bloating?
Pros and cons for each approach. A picture to a contact record is probably
the typical senerio
Microsoft envisioned for using the attachment field "as is". Not storing
tons and tons of graphics etc...
You get to see a preview of the image (for most formats). I believe they
made it better on the "amount of bloating that occurs".

I don't think you can use the attachment field to hold a link.
You can add/extract attachments via code to move things back and forth from
the filesystem to the database.

This is ridiculous. So let's not ban a person who is clearly violating terms.
Let's instead create a MASSIVE online "info-attack" on them. Just ridiculous.
So reminiscent of the Aaron Kempf drama. If Steve is the person that you
claim then why oh, WHY are they NOT simply banned and their multitude of
posts simply deleted?

Bordering on stupid.

In all fairness, though, this post lacks the usual advertising... Or
is there something my browser doesn't show?

I don't see it, either. So in this instance one could argue that StopThis
Advertising is in violation of harrassment.

These kinds of "wars" ruin things for everyone. StopThisAdvertising claims,
"We warned him a thousand times..."

Who is "we" and what/who has given "we" the authority to warn ANYBODY? I
just reviewed the TOU:
http://www.microsoft.com/info/cpyright.mspx#E1

These don't seem to have been altered for a couple years. If Steve is such a
violator then he should be properly reported to MS.

Steve appears to be a troll and to have taken on other identities. So if it
can be so easily proven then simply do so and be done with it. I'm entirely
annoyed by self-appointed forum police!

Considering that Steve has been warned "a thousand times" yet is still free
to post makes it CLEAR that those who have been warning him are entirely out
of line.

John,

I am not defedning anyone but please note that the TOU you preseted is for
Software. The Rules of Conduct for the Newsgroup can be found here...
http://www.microsoft.com/library/gal...RulesofConduct.
And to quote...

"Advertising/Solicitation: These communities were created as a forum for
providing peer-to-peer assistance on Microsoft products and services. We ask
that you refrain from posting advertisements or solicitations that do not
pertain directly to the intended use and purpose of the newsgroup or chat."


1. No, I have to agree I do not see it in this posting either. HOWEVER, I
have seen it as much as 9 (nine) times ALL in seperate posts.

2. and 3. As for who the "We" are please refer to postings where Steve has
advertised. If you do a search on Steve you will find the "We" and the
solicitations.

3. He has been reported several times and has had to make several
adjustments to post here. I am not going to defend Steve or
StopThisAdvertising. I will say if you don't want to see either one please
use Killfile.

Thanks for the clarification, Gina. I'm certainly not defending anyone,
either. I'm simply saying that the "info-attack" on Steve is as ridiculous
and annoying as Steve's trolling for $$$.

This smacks of the Aaron Kempf issue. Good GAWSH - if the Rules of Conduct
are so explicit and clear than why in the world are these things allowed to
blow up like this?

Simply ban the offender and get on with life. I really appreciate these
forums but I find these playground antics just a bit much and feel compelled
to voice my irritation.

The problem is that these newsgroups aren't moderated, nor can they be.

You're using Microsoft's web interface to post, but you're actually posting
to NNTP newsgroups, not a website.

The groups exist on a multitude of servers, not simply the ones that
Microsoft administers themselves (msnews.microsoft.com). While Microsoft
conceivably could delete posts originating on their server, they would be
unable to delete posts originating on other servers.

Hi, Doug.

Well, then it seems to me that the *bigger* problem is poor planning. If I
were to initiate a fine forum like this (and it truly is fine) then I'd make
sure that I could actually ENFORCE the Rules of Conduct that people have been
asked to respect! Otherwise, why bother with any rules at all?

Personaly, I find the "info-attack" (I don't know what else to call it)
towards Steve far more disturbing than his trolling for $$$. It's downright
CREEPY. The fact that all of that effort goes for naught because ultimately,
the rules can't be enforced makes it more a travesty than anything.

Yikes!
