I prefer hyperlinks for external documents and images instead of
stuffing it into a field. See FollowHyperlink and HyperlinkPart in help
for further information. You storage field in the table would be type
HyperLink...which usually contains 2 parts; the display info and the
filename. Ex:
Dim strHyper As String
strHyper = "Picture Of Baby#C:\Photos\Baby.jpg#"
Me.HyperLinkField = strHyper

In addition to the hyperlinking that has already been recommended, the
sample imaging databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com illustrate three more
approaches to handling images in Access, and the download includes an
article discussing considerations in choosing an approach. Two of the
approaches do not use OLE Objects and, thus, avoid the database bloat, and
some other problems, associated with images in OLE Objects.

If you are printing the images in reports, to avoid memory leakage, you
should also see MVP Stephen Lebans' http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm.
PrintFailure.zip is an Access97 MDB containing a report that fails during
the Access formatting process prior to being spooled to the Printer Driver.
This MDB also contains code showing how to convert the contents of the Image
control to a Bitmap file prior to printing. This helps alleviate the "Out of
Memory" error that can popup when printing image intensive reports.
