Hi Folks - I'm totally confused ..... I'd like to add bound pictures to a
table. I create a field with the OLE data type. I right-click on said field,
choose Insert Object, navigate to the folder with the picture (bmp), and
make sure I check the link option. My uneducated guess is the picture should
be linked to the field, not embedded. However, it seems the picture is
embedded. I say this because the database increases in size dramatically.
Also, if I delete the linked picture, it still shows up in the database. Any
ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Lynn - Thanks for the info. I am looking at alternatives, but what I really
wanted to know was "does linking a file via OLE data type actually store the
image in the database?" Thanks.
