Add images to Access Reports

Hey Experts,
I'd like to add pictures on reports that are generated from Access database. The user adds the path as a hyperlink on the forms....i didnt want to add the images directly into the database as the size of the database will increase. Is there any way to pull the images to the reports as thumbnails. URGENT!!!

Many Thanks,

Have you tried using
Image0.Picture = LoadPicture(ImagePathColumn)
to load an image form the file system

if i have a 2mb pic....n i need a thumbnail that's around 10k.....is it possible to display one like that in access reports.
you can the scale the image using the access but not thumbnail it in the traditional sense, you will need some thing else, like a VB or C++ dll to create a thumbnail
