Your poster needs to be an image, not an OLE Object.

If you change the image to embedded, your Db size will grow incredibly. A 2 meg file may bloat the db by 10 - 15 meg

i know that my friend but it doesn't matter to me very mutch. i am mostly afraid that i will format my computer and forgot to backup the pictures...after all if i see that the size of the databe i can always change it to linked images...

Not sure what you mean by "Nothing Happened". What were you expecting to happen ?

 

[smoker]

i was expecting to get the images embedded and not linked. anyway, if you can tell me how to make the images embedded please tell me
