Embedded Audio Question

[KennyD]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am needing to develop an audio catalog and would like to know if anyone has experience with embedding audio in an Access database. The ideal situation would be to have all audio contained within the database, however, some of the audio files may be quite large and I don't want to bog down the entire database by having 100MB files in there either.

So I guess my question simply is; if my audio files are 50MB or larger, embed or link?

Thanks for any advice.

You should link [store the path & file name] all files. Your database would be severly bloated if you embeded any external files, no matter what type of file. Search the forum for the keyword "browse" and my user name "ghudson" for a sample db that will benefit your application.
