How can I show photos in report?

[jdev]

I have a file with employee info, including a unique ID# and the filename of that person's photo. The photos are stored in a directory. How can I link to that directory and get a report to display the photos?
Thanks

In your employees folder call a field picture or something like that set it's datatype to OLEobject. then simply fill in the table with the path name for each picture. I have a small example database for you. I can email you it.

Let me know how you get on?

Could I get a copy of that sample database?

I see that this posting is pretty old, but I'm hoping I can still get a copy of the sample database mentioned.

Does anyone have a good sample database for putting photos into a report using links? Thanks!
