It's much better to keep images as separate files outside the database,
because storing them inside a table will cause your database to bloat
alarmingly and will possibly increase the likelihood of database corruption.
You can add an empty image control to your form with these steps:
1. Add an image control from the Toolbox
2. Choose any image file in the "Insert Picture" dialog
3. In the new control's property sheet, delete the filename from Picture
and change PictureType to Linked. You might also want to change SizeMode to
Zoom.
Now, when you want to load a picture (which would normally be in the form's
Current event), you need the following single line of code:
ImageControlName.Picture = "full path to image file"
You can store the image file path as a text field in your record, but that
can cause problems when you move your images to another location.
Another option is to store the folder name in a "Settings" table, and just
store the filename part in your record.
Alternatively, you could adopt a convention that the filename can be derived
from the record ID. For example, EmployeeID 273 might have an image file
named EMP000273.jpg.
