We have an access database for our club that includes .jpg
photo images of each member. We've decided to include the
photos in our directory, but I'm not sure if this can be
done in a access report of if I should send the data to
another program. Suggestions?
 
There are sample databases illustrating three approaches to handling images
in Access, one of which is similar to that shown in Northwind, but two which
you may find more suitable. Using OLE Objects, even "linked" to a file, can
cause a surprising amount of unnecessary increase in database size (usually
called "bloat").

For handling .jpg in Reports, specifically, visit MVP Stephen Lebans' site,
http://www.lebans.com. He told me he would have his example of converting
files to .BMP before using in a Report back on the site very soon. His
technique can prevent memory leakage that limits the number of images you
can print without "freezing" up your machine in some versions of Access.
