Image Data

What is the correct (or best way) to
Insert Into an Image data field.
I have an app that displays records containing Equipment Pictures.
I am able to display the record and display the picture.
I want to allow the user to add an new record and also insert a
new picture associated with the record.
The table was imported so the existing pictures came in fine
but I now need to build the app to facilitate this needed
functionality.
any help is much appreciated.
thanks in advance,
bob mcclellanYou can store the physical path of the pictures in one column and it is
better to hide that file
