Import pictures

Hi,

I have a students database, and want to have an attachment field with the
student's picture.

What is the best (read easiest and fastest) to import those picture files
into the database. I have about 600 students in the database, and each file
is about 256k or so.

Thanks

You don't want to put pictures in the database. It will cause bloating that
can quickly blow the 2gig limit for an Access mdb or accdb. It is best to
collect all the image files in a specific folder and use a hyperlink field
in your table to point to the image file.
