Hi:

Field type needs to be OLE.

You can create a BMP and paste it into the OLE field.

To be honest, I wouldn't recommend storing images in a Jet database: they're
very prone to bloat. Much better is to store the image as a file outside of
the database, and simply store a filename in the database. See
http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0030.htm at "The Access Web" for a
discussion.

If you're determined to do it, though, check out what Stephen Lebans has at

The sample imaging databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com illustrate three
approaches to handling images in Access, and the download includes an
article discussing considerations in choosing an approach. Two of the
approaches do not use OLE Objects and, thus, avoid the database bloat, and
some other problems, associated with images in OLE Objects.

If you are printing the images in reports, to avoid memory leakage, you
should also see MVP Stephen Lebans' http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm.
PrintFailure.zip is an Access97 MDB containing a report that fails during
the Access formatting process prior to being spooled to the Printer Driver.
This MDB also contains code showing how to convert the contents of the Image
control to a Bitmap file prior to printing. This helps alleviate the "Out of
Memory" error that can popup when printing image intensive reports.
