i want to store a image file in a database field. i hope the field type must be MEMO filed.but i dont know how to save the image file in that field.for example i want to maintain a database of school student id card info.i want to store the images of the students in the database rather than store it as external image file in the folder.
i am using msaccess as backend.

Sup spy boy?

Memo won't hold a picture man. You need to store it as an OLE field instead. Then what you do is right click on the field, select import I believe, then select the image you want to include. It'll save it with the db, and you won't need to have the image file anywhere near the db.

If you need any further help with this, let me know

Talk later,
Jack
