I want to modify an access 2003 database which tracks purchase orders whilst
entering order details from paper orders i want to scan a copy of the
purchase order into the database for future reference. can anyone help?

Scans, usually .tif files, will quickly fill up an Access database. Your
best bet is to store them in a folder outside the database, and store the
path to each scan file in the database, loading each as necessary. For a
demo on how to do that see:
