It is much more common for _teachers_ to specify _how_ you should accomplish
an assignment than for _managers_ (but there are some who try to
_micromanage_). Still, if you aren't using Access 2007, which has solved
the problem of bloating for pictures in OLE Objects, it's good practice to
avoid them.

All caps is considered "shouting" and is also considered "very impolite".
Please use your shift key. Alas, we are not here to do your development for
you as "showing you step by step" would be doing, but to help you obtain
information that will allow you to do it. In that spirit, I offer the
following (which includes examples that you can adapt to your own use,
provided you have invested a modicum of time and energy learning Access).

The sample imaging databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com illustrate three
approaches to handling images in Access, and the download includes an
article discussing considerations in choosing an approach. Two of the
approaches do not use OLE Objects and, thus, avoid the database bloat, and
some other problems, associated with images in OLE Objects.

If you are printing the images in reports, to avoid memory leakage, you
should also see MVP Stephen Lebans' http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm.
PrintFailure.zip is an Access97 MDB containing a report that fails during
the Access formatting process prior to being spooled to the Printer Driver.
This MDB also contains code showing how to convert the contents of the Image
control to a Bitmap file prior to printing. This helps alleviate the "Out of
Memory" error that can popup when printing image intensive reports.
