Access artwork criteria

I'm trying to import our corporate logo onto the Access
design for labels. What format does the artwork need to
be in and how many dpi?

The best format I think would be bmp; the smaller the better. Be aware if
you add the image to multiple forms and/or reports, this will make your
database grow very quickly. The best way is to add the image once in a table
and then reference the location to load the image into the report. The dpi
depends on how the logo was originally scanned or created through a image
program. If the image is small, then the dpi can usually be lower, such as
72 dpi. If the image needs to be 'magazine' quality, then you will use a
higher resolution when creating or scanning, such as 300-600 dpi. Whoever
has created the logo, have them create several examples. One at 72, 300,
600.

Note: I've also used jpegs successfully for 'home grown' address labels for
mailing.
