showing images

I want to create a database where I have records, say for example, cars types
and models. I'll have a folder of images of cars. I want to be able to
scroll through records on a form and each record will display the image of
the car on the form. I'm not going to need to change the contents of the
images. Do I create a OLE object in the table and a link to the object? How
do I show it as the image and not a link? Lastly, I would like it to be a
certain size on the form and the user can click and drag the image around in
the frame. Can someone help me understand the basics of how to do this?

Gator,

I am a newie to Access, but I am also working and an image db. I found the
following links very helpful in getting me started.
