    Working with images in forms and tables


    Creating a database where each table record will have an image associated. I have successfully done this using the path to the image as a field in the record.
    I am now trying to do the same by including the image in the table record. The images are all jpeg. I have attempted to create the record field as attachment or OLE and have been unsuccessful with both in creating a new record in a data entry form, include the image on the form then saving the entire record.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Your db will grow exponentially if you put them in the db.
    I'd stick with the paths. That's what I use.

    My concern is that if either DB or the image folder is moved then all images will need to be relinked.

    I need help! I added a field to a record and it is of type "attachment". This attachment is an image of a student and is a JPEG. However, when I designed the form, the image is displayed sideways! How should I fix this image so it is displayed correctly? Thanks in advance!
