Picture in a Form

[tomcat21]

What's the best way to store a photo in a form. I currently have an OLE object in a table and the form attached to that. Problem is, it bogs down the database bad.
How do you store the phot somehwere else and just store the path in the database?

Under Format, wouldn't you just put the File Path in the "Picture" Property, and set the "Picture Type" property to "linked" instead of "Embedded"?

GoinDeep is correct in recommending this technique. The following thread: thread702-289543 speaks to all of the particulars of doing this.

Good luck.
