Images in Access? 1

[Entrepenueress]

I am trying to create a simple database to serve as a directory for a group of people. Basically, I just want to print the reports and hand them out periodically to each member of this group. I need to have their pictures show up on the report next to their name, but have never known Access to hold image information. Is this possible? If not, what is the best alternative software I should use?
Thank you!

You can use an OLE control in an Access report. Have a look at the sample application, called Northwinds, which comes with all versions of Access. It has almost exactly what you are looking for. But Access is not the best way to store images, particularly if the database is large. I prefer to do the job by retrieving a jpg image from an external folder. If you need motre guidance, let me know.

Alas, this links seems broken.
