I'm creating a demo database with three records. The finished database will
have linked images but for the demo I want to keep everything in the same
file. How do I create three embedded images, one for each of the three
records so that the actual image files do not have to be distributed with
the database file?

Thanks,

Tom
 
You can use an OLE field datatype in your table and a Bound OLE control in
the form which displays it. You can also use text to store the filename of
the image and embed the image in an image control. I suggest the latter as
it will be easier to change this to a linked file. There is an example in
the Northwind sample database in the employees table and form. Depending
upon which version of Access you are using, the method shown differs.
