Hi,
a simple solution would be to add a text datatype field to your records
table.
In that you can hold all the full string path values to the external image
files. It is not advised to store images within access because of a known
bloating problem.
You can then use this string path at runtime to display your images on forms
and reports.
A good tutorial of this can be found here:

Just add an image control to your report. Size the image
control to suit your needs and set the properties to "Link"
and "Stretch". If you don't want to hard-code the path to
the image, you can do that in the OnLoad event when the
report runs, i.e., Me.imgMyImage.Picture = "fully qualified
path of your image."

Post back if you still have difficulties.
