Re: Inmagic/Access and linking images



For anyone learning to use Access or thinking about using Access, even
those who have some knowledge, but would like to learn the full abilities
of Access, I highly recommend perusing "Ten Minute Guide to Access 97".  I
have found this book much more helpful than those larger and more
technical books put out by Microsoft.  The book costs $12 and goes over
applications auch as OLE (Object Linked embedding) which is mentioned
below.  I imagine that Access 2000 is even more dynamic, but I would not
recommend this database for larger collections.
