2/ Where am I going to save them.

Hi,

you can do it with a Bound Object Frame which keeps the images in the database is easy to use and makes the pictures use a lot of space in the database. This is also the only easy way to use pictures in continous forms.

You could use an Image control and keep the path to the image in the database and in the form current event set the image.picture property of the image control to the image location.

Hope this helps
Patrick

Have a look at the Northwind DB. They have an example in thei
Employees table and form. As to the second part of your question, yo
should store the pictures in a seperate folder and reference tha
folder with a pathname. DO NOT under any circumstances store th
pictures within the DB. It will cause bloat and slow it dow
dramatically
