Graphics in Access

[Ardoos]

Hi!
I have problem with images in Access... I want to have lots of graphic for example in my forms I enter few graphic pictures in the background (avarage size 10-20 KB). When I add 5 pictures my database is much much more then 100 KB + old size. Why size of database is so big?

Did you do a compact and repair to see if that reduces the size?

It reduced size of database, but I'm afraid that it's not enough.
I want to have graphic under each data field, but size of database with 7 forms will be about 50 MB. Is it to much for database with 5 tables (about 500 records included 20 OLE Object) + 7 forms with lots of graphic. Avarage size of graphic ~15 KB?
