How to put images in database

[Beelinger]

I have a database, where I would like to include images (.jpeg or .gif pictures). How can I do that effectively?

The only thing I can think of is transfer the picture file in a text-only format (like uuencode) and store it in a memo field in the database .. quite complicated

Is there any better way? Thanks for the answer!

Hi Beelinger,
Make a table and have a field that is of the OLE Object data type. Take care for the size of your Db doing this: If you have a ton of pics you might be better off to make a table with a text field to store the path to your pics instead! Gord
