Default How do i attache scanned documents to the database. eg. Memos

If you are running WindowsXP, you can do the following .........

Store your scanned documents as .Tif files. Open Windows Explorer and
navigate to a .Tif file. Right click on the file and set "Open With" to
Microsoft Office Document Imaging. Now you need a field in your table to
store the complete path to your scaneed documents. Make that field
Hyperlink. Set up your form so you can click on the path field. When you
open the form and click on the path, Microsoft Office Document Imaging will
open your scanned document and you can view, edit, print, etc. the scanned
document.

I'd like to attach scanned documents to each record that i create for my
database. I have both pictures and handwritten documents. How do i attach
them to the corresponding record and ensure that the pitures will be
visible
in the form as well.
