Good day all! In the DB I'm building, I have a field in a form bound to a table where I want users to be able to attach a picture; however I can't use an attachment because the user who submits the form may delete or move the picture. So I thought about using an OLE object that saves the bitmap of the picture to the database but I don't want the ole object visible. I just want a button that allows them to attach the file. Ideally, I want to be able to copy that picture from their location to a location of my choosing but I heard that is very complicated. Any ideas on the code to write for the button?

Perhaps there are more distinct steps involved.
If you want control over the location of picture/image, then maybe a step that allows a user to send/post a proposed image. You would have a process to review the images against your "standards" (this will liekly be a manual process). If the image meets the standard, you move it to (an Admin controlled update/edit) location and add the new link info to the associated record in the database. if it doesn't meet standards, you inform the person/client/user who proposed the image.
This approach is often used where only "company approved images/info" is made available to others.
