Instead of using a JPEG you would be much better to using wmf (Windows Meta
File) format for access OLE fields. If you only have a few pictures you can
embed them but if you have many (to reduce the d base size) try linking them
- use the link file on the properties box on form design
Actually, the preferred format for Access embedded images is .bmp. Access
will create a bitmap in that format, internally for every non-bitmapped
image that's embedded. That's the main reason it bloats so much with
embedded images, and a good reason for not storing images within the
database.
