1. When I insert a *.bmp image into a case in an Access
table the cell reads "Package." Is this correct?

2. It is important to know this as I use MX Access to
create databases for Dreamweaver MX. Hence, I need to
know whether I am corrupting the data in some way. Does
Access take only a certain type of graphic file,
i.e., .bmp, .jpg, or otherwise.
 
This approach causes the file data to be wrapped in proprietary headers, so you will not be able to use
it directly with other technologies.

To do this you need to store the raw binary data; then you can use the data with IIS, asp, VB etc. (when
this is the case the field contents will read 'long binary data').
