    Embedding Videos

    Quick question (hopefully!)

    Is it possible to embed video files into Form fields in an Access Database?

    If so...


    What file format could/should they be in?
    Is it viable or a bad idea?
    What are the limits to embedding such video files?

    Interested to hear others' views/experiences...

    kp.

    Maybe, but that would severely bloat the db file size. Better would be to store path to file saved externally.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.
