William,

Yes. Pictures cause a huge DB bloat.
2) how do i make the picture visble on a form

You can use an unbound image control and assign the path+file name to
its Picture property (see also Help on this). For details how to
handle this go to the MS site and search the knowledge base for this
article:

Article Q148463: How to Display Image in Form Without Storing It in
Table

The link uses the old format with Q prefix, but it will redirect you
to the current page.
