Hi,

I'm not sure if I understand the problem 100% but you can add a jpg or any other type of picture to a record (such as a product) in the table design, add a new field (pic) of type OLE, when inserting the picture (right click, insert object), select "Create from file" and the browse your way to the picture you want -> Ok. I tested this with jpg & gif pictures and they worked fine.

HTH, Andrew.
