We have a number of scanned pages that are 8 1/2 by 11 inches. They are saved
as .jpgs but can be saved to bmp or whatever.

If I have a small form, I probably do not have room to display the image on
the form. Who do I make a link or something that a user would click on to
display this sheet of notes associated with a particular record?
 
You can add a Hyperlink type fied to your table.

Place a text box on your form for this field.
You can right-click it (or use the Insert menu) to insert the link.
Alternatively, you could put a command button beside the text box, with this
in its Click event procedure:
Me.[NameOfYourTextBoxHere].SetFocus
RunCommand acCmdInsertHyperlink

After the user has inserted the graphic, they can just click on the text box
to open the image in whatever program is installed to handle JPGs.
