Access is both a (small) database + a GUI development application.
SQL Server is ONLY a (full-blown) database product, and doesn't have a true user GUI, EM and QA are only Developer & Admin tools.
If you want to insert pictures into a image column, you either need to develop an application that can do this via code, or eventually play around with the TextCopy.exe, which can read a file into a IMAGE or TEXT column.

Hi narfk1,
angel is right. You can't insert images directly into the SQL Server using the Enterprisemanager.
But you still can use ADO to insert the File. Use the AppendChunk and GetChunk methods of a field. Do the following steps
1.) open recordset
2.) open file and copy to membuffer (you can do that from the file directly as well)
3.) call the append chunk methods for the image field until your file is insterted
4.) Update the record
Your file is now inserted in SQL Server
Check out MSDN Documentation for further information. There is also an example inserting images. Look at

It's recommended that you should not store an image directly in SQL Server. Although this can be done (e.g. using IMAGE datatype), it's best to only store the path to the image file in the database. Then, when your front-end application queries the database, it retrieves the file path of the image, and then goes there to open it for display.
Angelll I tried using the textcopy.exe program to insert a picture into the database, but it doesn't seem to work. Sorry but Im new to database, but maybe im not inputting the right commands. What would I input when the program asks me to Type the Where clause: ? I only have three column in the Table called PICTURE. 1) ID 2)Person 3)Pict
so would i put the select * FROM PICTURE WHERE ID = '1' or something of that nature??
