Adding Images/Pics to forms

[Brook]

I am setting up an inventory database and would like to
have pictures of my inventory items on my inventory form.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Either
by linking directly to the image location or by storing
the image in the database?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Brook,

You will want to avoid storing the image in the mdb file - this leads to
bloating. A better way is to store the path of the image and then use code
to display the image on the form. Check here for a more detailed explanation
of the problem and links to sample solutions:
