the pics into the table (for out of the office distribution purpose)

Hi Ali,

Import the text file into an table, and then see
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=198466 for importing the images.

Be aware, however, that embedding pictures in tables can grossly "bloat"
the database file (see http://support.microsoft.com?id=123151). This may
in itself complicate the distribution process, and it may well be
preferable to leave the images as separate files. (Don't forget that
it's possible to distribute the database and a subfolder of images as a
single ZIP file.)
