| 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 |

| 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) | ||
