It is much more efficient (specially using access) to store just the file name & path of your file in the database and retrieve that info to use in loading your file. Images take up larges amounts of space and everytime you edit a record that contains a picture (even if your not changing the picture itself) the database makes a new copy of that record which keep accumalating the size of your database.
