I created an inventory database for my company. I just finished and now I have started entering data into it. In my data entry forms I created a linked OLE object for the pictures of the items. The size of my database is around 2.5MB and when I added a 357 KB jpeg into the OLE field my database size jumped to 25MB. I thought that if you set the OLE object as linked instead of embedded, it doesn't take up that much more space. I don't know what to do. There are hundreds of items that will get entered into this database. Please help me!
