Big picture problem

[tekkyun]

Does anyone know why my database file size increases by about 50Mb when I import 936 Kb JPEG image file to a form?
I have tried compacting the Db but it doesn't make any difference.

How do I import image to use as form background without this problem?

Have a look here: Handle/Display images in forms/database

See Ya! . . . . . .

Be sure to see thread181-473997
Also faq181-2886

You are probably better linking the image at runtime

In the load event set the picture property as below with the path to your image.

Me.Picture = "C:\IMAGE.bmp"
