Have a look at this link on "Displaying an Image in a Microsoft Access Form",
it explain how to display a picture in a form (for future needs), but it also
explain that it better to store the path to a picture and not the actual
picture

It is always better to add a path to a picture and use an Image control to
display it in a form or report. You can also embed a picture in a Bound OLE
field using a form to write to the corresponding field in the table.

Using this particular method of setting the path for the images, would it
work well if the image we, say, an employee picture and needed to change
from one employee to the next?

Yes
In the example you can see how to display a picture for each property, it
would work just the same with pictures for employees
