406010 2005-11-20 22:19:00 I have created an access database table for my DVD collection and was wanting to add a field to include a thumbnail or mini-image of the cover.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance

So you would just use plain text

406013 2005-11-21 04:58:00 I've accidentally stored images in a MS Access database before - I think it was using an "OLE Embedded object" or something along those lines - can't remember exactly how I did it. somebody (208)
