  Here is an excerpt from Larry Linsons document on Images in Access
There is documentation in a word file and Sample Access programs

-----------------
Image Controls

Access version 7.0 (Access 95) and later versions, include a new Control 
for displaying images: the Image Control.

A limited set of image file formats stored in their native file format, 
external to Access, can be displayed in the Image Control. The number of 
file formats supported can be significantly increased by installing the 

graphics filters
 provided with any version of Microsoft Office or with 
a standalone installation of Microsoft Word. These filters are not 
included with the standalone Microsoft Access product, and they are not 
installed by default. Youll need to choose the Custom Install and 
specifically select them. If you are distributing your Access 
application with the Office Developer Edition runtime, you are not 
allowed to distribute the graphics filters  each user must have a 
license to the software that includes them and have installed them 
separately.

Maybe you can find some code that might work using the LoadImage API 
function here
