Folks,
        I've been working on the PFAF access versions of the database,
but have run into a problem with pictures. I'd like to include
400 - 1000 pictures in the database, however the standard
picture object only seems to support BMP format which makes storage
requirements just way too big.

        Does anone know of some easy way to include pictures in
access with a reasonable file size? I'm guessing there might be
some sort of COM/ActiveX controller which would do this, anyone know
of such a beast?

        Rich
