Default A2007 - OLE vs. Attachements

I would like to add a picture to a record but do not know the best way to do
it. From what I can see OLE gives the option to "link" to the picture file
rather than imbed the picture in the database which then bloats my database.
The "attachment" type field has a nicer interface when I put it on a form
but bloats the database. Is there a way to use the Attachment field type but
have it be a link to the picture.

Thanks,
J
