When I paste photos into my Paradox tables they always increase in size from 4-18kb to 1mb+. I have tried using jpg,gif, and bmp files but they always end up the same.I have 300 plus ID photos to insert but at the size they are I will end up with a 600mb+ file. any suggestions!

Reducing graphic size
- Thread starter roscok
- Start date
I have a similarly sized employee table that has graphics and the resulting MB file is around 24 MEG so far. I have noticed no performance hit due to its size, so I have not made any changes. However, the only alternative I have considered is to replace the graphic field with a string field that contains the path and filename of the image. Then use readFromFile() to display it on the form by plugging in that string value.
Hope this helps,
