Can Access Store JPG's?

[Shfog]

We are trying to organize a few hundred forms that we plan to scan into jpg's.
Is there a way for us to put these into an Access 2000 database?

Thanks,
Shfog

Yes, but to avoid the bloating size of storing images, use a third party control. The one we use is "DBpix".

Dbpix has a simple programming interface and does JPG images just fine. It also has a few of bells and whistles too.

The other alternative is to link them to path file locations, but in my opinion, its more of a hassle than its worth. The control is easy to use and simple. In our database we have over 6000+ pics and the database size is about 400MB. Not bad for 6000+ pics.
