Default database with pictures in excel?

"Huge Lagoon" <Huge skrev i melding

Hi,

Well, as of this moment the pictures are still stored as files on a

folder.
But the idea would be to include them all in the Excel file itself. Then,

if
a determined name on a cell would be clicked that someone's picture would
show up while the others remained unseen.


Hi

I believe the file will bloat too much. AFAIK Pictures don't keep their
original compression when inserted into Office documents, they become
"windows metafiles" or something like that. You are better off with separate
jpg files and hyperlinks.

Access and other databases can store pictures though. This job may sound
like a database type of thing.

HTH. Best wishes Harald
