Form Extremely slow moving to next record...

I am using Access 2003 and my form has only a few fields, but one is a
"bound object frame" that I paste a screen shot into from the clipboard
(ctrl-V) of an image captured using the print screen key. To scroll to the
next record takes approximately 15 seconds. I'm guessing that it is because
of the graphic. Do I need to use a different type of control or maybe a
different screen capture at a lower resolution, or a different graphic type,
or ??? The control is linked to a field in my table and the OLE type allowed
is set to embedded.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Jim
 
Hi Jim,

it is best to save your images as JPG files and then use a 255 char text
field in your table to store the path and name of the JPG file

storing OLE objects will bloat your db very quickly

Warm Regards,
