I created a database that would store all my info for my
patterns (I sew all my clothes). Within the database I
also insert the picture of the pattern. I have gotten very
close to finishing the database and start getting a message
saying "Invaild argument". How can I fix this?
 
When and where do you get this error? Waht are you trying to do that makes
this error pop-up?
 
How big is the database currently?

The consensus seems to be that an Access database is better off storing
links to pictures rather that the pictures themselves.

I did check the database and found out that it was 1.99GB,
so I'm assuming that's why I am getting the error message.

When I go to insert the picture, should I link instead of
inserting? Will this cut down on the size?

The links will be miniscule in terms of storage within the database,
compared to storing the pictures themselves withing the database. A picture
might be 200,000 bytes. A link might be 200 bytes.
