I assume you're referring to placing a picture in an Access form? If so, it
depends on the size of the image, and whether you are planning to embed the
image or link to it. If you embed an image, it will make your database
larger. If size is no matter, embedding is generally the easier way to go.
Especially if you are going to have multiple users that store a copy of the
database on their own PC (if you link the an image, you have to be sure they
have a copy of the image available as well). If size is important, and you
are going to embed the picture, you can typically use a compressed format
like JPG without a great deal loss in picture quality.
