I know everyone is going to say DONT PUT IMAGES IN YOUR DB< PUT LINKS TO THEM IN!

I am not at liberty to change the structure of what my boss wants, he wants the images stored in the DB so that is what I am giving him.

My problem is this: I have a single form for entering data into my Table, and I want to add a control that will let the User Browse for the right image, and them add that image chosen into the DB with maybe an upload button or something.

Now, if it is VERY VERY poor design to do it this way, and it is SOO much better to do the link to image way, if you could please detail how it works in both ways, I may be able to talk my boss into changing. My problem is I am not very good at this DB Designing and such, and have no experience using OLE type fields.

Thank you for ANY assistance you may give!

PS: All images will be same type and size!
 
Have you had any luck with this problem yet, as i am looking for the same resolve and no one ever seems to reply to this kind of problem.. is it possible??
