Here is one way to get a .bmp into Access.
Storing bitmap or other object:
Create Table1. Create Field1 with type OLE Object. (allows you to store
objects in the table)
Inserting a bitmap or other object
Create Form1.
Draw a Bound Object Frame (from the Toolbox toolbar) called Control1
Create Button1 and this associated code for OnClick of the button
Private Sub Button1_Click()
Control1.SetFocus
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdInsertObject
End Sub
When you click the button, you can choose the type of object to insert or
create a new one. If you choose to create from a file, you can browse to the
picture.
Once inserted, the table will display information about the object and the
bound object frame will actually show it.
Not sure if this helps.
