Hi - it would be helpful if you would describe what your
objective is here. What are you hoping to store or to
hyperlink to ? If the answer is - a graphics object - then
you do NOT want to use an OLE object field because of the
enormous performance and storage impact of storing such
objects. Hyperlinking would be ok but the downside is that
you have no simple way of viewing or reporting on your
content. The recommended way is to upload your images into
an Image Control by passing the filename and pathname.
This is a pretty straight forward technique - see
Microsoft KnowledgeBase article : 148463 for details.
