MS Access 97

I am trying to put images into a database by links but when inserting OLE object the image is storing in the database rather than creating a link.

It is therefore increasing by 1meg each time

Help

Hi

You don't need to store it as an OLE object, just text containing the link (whether the link is a HTTP address or a file path) - OLE is for Object Linking and Embedding so it looks like you're embedding the image into the DB rather than just the link to it - the images must be pretty hefty though if it's adding 1Mb a time!

Hope that helps
