I have a folder that contains images. They are all .jpg's.
Is there some way I can import that folder's images and image names into Access?
What I am trying to do is have Access show me the image without it being embedded. Right now, the images are embedded so the DB is huge.
I keep reading there is a way to just furnish the address of the photo's location and it will allow the image to appear in a report. I have tried numerous times to no avail. I have tried this link: http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/viewtopic.php?t=76427 No Joy.
I think what I am doing wrong is that I am tring to use the folder of images, rather than making a new access table to hold those images.
What I am trying to avoid is creating that table from scratch. Hence, the request for a way to import to Access a folder that lists the images.
