Hi there,
My database holds information of about 800 children. I
would like to store with each child record a child
picture, for dislay if the child record comes up, and for
printing in a child information sheet. I created an OLE
field for that purpose in a table, and tried to attach an
Adobe Photoshop picture to the field. Although the
picture sizes are really small, like 250 by 250 pixels,
each picture increases the backend size with about 1.5
Mb. That's a bit too much for 800 pictures, especially
because the backend has to be send every two weeks
through email from Uganda to Dallas.
My question: any suggestions how I can store pictures
with records without exploding the database to
unmanageable sizes.
