Re: Inmagic/Access and linking images



Craig is correct about Access and inserting files, but we are finding here
that when we attach photo files directly into the record, the file size of
the database (in megabytes) seems to grow at a disproportionate rate.

We haven't figured out why yet.

If you engage in this kind of thing, you might want to be careful about what
you insert, how many, how much server space is available, etc.

Just for the record you can link to photo files in Access,
link to audio and moving image files,
or instead of linking, insert copies of the files directly into the
database record.
