Hi all
I searched about attachment data type of Access DataBase in internet. I found below text. I think it's wrong, size of the database will increase. what's your opinion ?

( This site [^] write : ... Many types of files can be stored in a column which has the attachment data type. Someone can add bitmap files, jpg files, sound files, word documents, etc. to a column without increasing the size of the database....)

You do not want to go storing this amount of pictures / data size in access db, it is simply not efficient.

The best way would be to upload the image to the filesystem, and store a path reference in the accessdb
