>Mark, you may want to avoid thumbnails in the database if you're talking huge amounts of pictures.
BTW, I am sure someone has mentioned -- but, if they haven't, link thumbnails, do not embed them in the database. Embedding graphics in an Access database bloats the whole thing memory-wise and slows everything down. You may also run out of memory and Access won't load. I have used Access for several programming projects (for others) and have not been impressed. Definitely unimpressed. But for a small database, I guess it's okay. However, when it comes to automatically filling in fields, it's weak. In many instances I found having it fill in fields automatically was undoable (unless writing VBA code in a module that did a sort of batch processing routine), but maybe I was not that clued in to all the ins and outs of Access since I was self-taught from books.
