asked on In Access 2013, what is best way to 'link' to a photo of an applicant or employee?
I'd like to be able to NOT STORE employee/candidate head shots in my Access 2013 database (back-end) because of the space it takes up.
Can 'links' to the photos stored on a folder on our terminal server or file server be stored in a particular field type in Access 2013 and when that employee's record is loaded in a form, the photo be automatically be displayed?

Side idea,
you could also resize the image? with VSO image resizer since size of these images is the main problem as well.
