First, I have to admit, I have not yet even tried to look this up in my books (hangs head). It's just so much easier to ask you all.

I have a database, only one table as it's a pretty simple one. I'm going to add a field called photo. Ultimately what I want is to print name tags with a graduate's name and photo. I have all the photos already, both on my hard drive and online. So, what kind of field should photo be, and what do I put in the field so that the photo will end up printing on the report being a specific height and proportional width? Do I have to make a thumbnail first? To see a sample photo, click on one here:
http://muir63.org/photos63/b/b.shtml (try David Bassett - see what he looked like in high school).

If anybody has a small database that has this capability, I'd live to get it and disect it. I learn a lot by example.
