just for interest sake why would you want the image in the db. Access db's are notorious for corruption and your playing with fire storing an image in a db. You should store the image on disk and point to the directory in the database.

Doesn't it depend on what type of image you store in your database? I've heard of and seen bitmaps stored in databases without any problems.

I agree with the assessment that access is no good though.
