I have a form I want to display staff records with and would like to be able to also insert the staff member's photo into the form. My question is, how to I attach or insert each photo in the table? What type of field to I declare for this "photo" ?

I have separate .jpg files for each staff's picture.

Thanks,
Susan
 
It would need to be an OLE Object field to hold a file (of any kind).

On a side note, this is going to make your database very large... depending on your situation I would suggest linking to the photo... so only the path and file name are accualy stored in the database... Just a thought...
