when putting arrays into a DB, you should define the column to be
"image data". (I'm sorry but I forgot the word that the DB people
use, it's not image data, but I think it is similar...). Since an
image is a 2D array, that data type works perfect for arrays of data.
It will let you insert the entire array into one cell. Sometimes
strings and databases don't work well with each other (null strings,
and termination chars). Look at the shipping example(s) that come
with the toolkit to see various ways around this. I think that Access
(in trying to appeal to everyone) is the worst at arrays of strings.
