images in access field?

[kaiallard]

hello

i am wondering if in access it is possible to insert image files in a
field and how to do so.

I want to apply this knowledge to saving images of people beside their
names. Then when i make a form the image of the person can appear
beside his name for every person in my database.

Thanks for your help!

It can be done, several ways - the simplest is to just create a BLOB
(Binary Large Object) field and store the image in it, but be warned
that this causes VERY rapid bloating of your database.

For some alternatives that avoid this problem see Larry Linson's
sample code at the website
