I tried searching the FAQ and other posts for info on this, which I know people have dealt with before, but could find nothing. I need to be able to merge images (signatures) into reports, but I've heard that saving images in a SQL database isn't such a good idea. I've heard it's better to save images in a folder outside the database, then save the filepath in a table and pull the images using that filepath. How do I do this? Any helpful articles and instruction would be appreciated!

exactly how you described...
have a table, in it have a field, populate it with the paths of your photos, on your form, have a image object, set the source of the image object to the file paths in the table...
check out northwind, there's a pretty good example of this in there...
