Re: store image in access table
As far as I know, you're still working with .mdb files. It is not a good idea to store images in a database in that format. Regardless of the image format (.gif, .png, .jpg), the image will be stored in .bmp format, which will make the database huge.
Instead, store the images in a folder (for example the same folder as the database), and load them into an image control when needed.
