Oh, what was wrong with what I was trying to do?
There is nothing wrong with the way you were doing it...you can do it any way you like...it's your Database. Just be aware that more images you embed into your DB the more bloated it will become. If you can, convert your BMP's to PNG. A PNG image will be only a fraction the size of a BMP especially if the major background color of your BMP was made transparent when converted to the PNG.
I had one image behind that one if you didnt see it.
Sorry about that...I didn't see it

Corrected now.
