Hi Michael,
> is it more advisable to use links to the
photos, rather than the photos themselves, to reduce the size of the
database?
in my opinion, yes, Store path and filename in a text field -- or just store filename and add path using a calculation.
On a form,. use an image control with controlsource = field or calculated with with path and filename.
Warm Regards,
Crystal

Hi all. I'm a new member and a beginner with Access. I have been
designing a database to manage a hobby collection. I could have purchased a
pre-developed database for this purpose, but none of those available had the
flexibility that I was looking for. As I am a true beginner (never worked
with a database before) I expect to have lots of questions for this group.
I have set up a basic working database, but need to add a few bells and
whistles.
One thing that has me baffled is how to add photographs, or at least links
to photographs, to my Access database. Ideally, I would like to see a
thumbnail photo of the collection item on screen with the data for that
item. How can I do this? Also, is it more advisable to use links to the
photos, rather than the photos themselves, to reduce the size of the
database?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
