    Smile Creating new tab in "New Contact Database" to be able to upload images to contacts file

    Hey,

    I need to be able to add a new tab next to General called Certificates and Qualifications to be able to upload images of documents.
    Was wondering if this is possible or how I might go about it if I can't put it to where I need it.

    First time using Access



    Thanks in Advance (:

    Can certainly add tabs and put what you want on them.

    I am sure you can find a tutorial on web or get an introductory tutorial book.

    Be aware that uploading images into db uses up Access 2gb size limit.

    Thank you, I wasn't aware of that.
    May need to store them elsewhere then like dropbox (:

    Thanks again, I'll check it out anyway

    If db will not have a lot of data, embedding images might not be bad.

    I don't know if Access can pull images from dropbox. It can pull images from a normal folder. Review https://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=73766 especially post #17.
