using photographic image in a format other than a bitmap

[andy]

we are building a photo data base and find that the size
of records is going to use up most of our hard drive
is there a way of importing a picture in any other format
that allows us to use up less space
it seams that the prefered format is a bitmap

I would recommend that you just store the path and filename in your table.
You can then update the Picture property of an image control on a form or
report in either the On Current or On Print events.
