Mark, you may want to avoid thumbnails in the database if you're talking huge amounts of pictures. If the database provides a picture name that you can find quickly with a decent picture browser and an organized series of picture folders, you'll probably be able to ZIP or RAR your database to a small enough size to back up to a floppy. For 100s of thousands of pictures.
But add those thumbnails to the database itself, and it'll grow much more quickly.
Just a thought. -Lon

This little project of mine is only for my personal use and will stay on Access 97 forever. It's just kind of nice to have a database that works exactly the way I want it and doesn't do anything more or less than I need.
Just remember to back up your data by exporting it to a more universal format, like XL or a comma separated file. After converting to OSX at least I�ve got the data, of not the functionality of the Access base.
