Access Photo Image Database
Hey Guys
After doing countless hours of design for an access image database for roughly 5000 images and climbing. I wanted to include a thumbnail of each in the database so that anyone could view each record and see a thumbnail of the image. I am seeing here that this would blow out my size of database to a ridiculous size. Is there any way around this, that i could still apply a thumbnail to each record whilst keeping down the database size? |

Access Photo Image Database
Hi Silver76,
Yes, the way is to have a text field that stores the path/filename for the thumbnail and/or image, and store THAT in your database. Then have a form with an image control on it, and when the record changes, set the Image to be the path/filename from the table. Hope this helps. Damian.
