How do I insert a JPEG image into an OLE field. It just
seems to hang for me when I do the "insert object". Any
advice on how to do this or another more productive way
to manage photos with associated info would be helpful!
 
This approach to storing images is usually inadvisable with compressed image formats, as it results in
an uncompressed bitmap being stored in the database, so inserting a jpeg file will typically grow the database
by 10 to 100 *times* the size of the file inserted.

If you need the images actually in the database then consider using raw-binary/blob storage instead of
OLE Embedding, otherwise work with external image files.
