If there is a Companies table, holding fairly standard data about companies (date of formation, turnover, employees, etc) then what is the best way to include a field to store the logo so that it can appear in reports either as a thumbnail or as a medium size image such as would appear on a letterhead?
I have searched the forum but there does not seem to be much discussion of graphics in Access. Can any one help clarify this area please.
 
You can store images in the database but this makes the size of your database disproportionately large. So instead you store your images in a folder of your choosing. Then in your table you just store the path/filename of the image as text.

You can then use this link text to use images in reports and forms. Here's a link that explains how to do it.
