RE: Re: Iris tracking program

This sounds like it might be useful for the folks who have access.  I
personally use excel but have considered swapping to access.  The problem is
I am really good with excel and only barely literate with access <GRIN>.
What were you thinking about charging for your software?  There was a
commercially available software written exclusively for iris on the market a
few years back that offered full support.  That would be something else to
worry about.  How long and how extensively would you support your customers?

You are right.  Don't store the photos in the data base.  A 1 MB  photo will

be stored as 30+ MB!   I store the name and path of the  photo in the
database 
and have created software to find and  display the photo in the form.  You 
are very correct in that adding photos  will slow down the database!  I use 
Access 2003.  I don't think you  can store photos in the 2003 version.  I
know you 
can in earlier  versions.  If found this out the hard way.  My early
database 
suddenly  became very big very quickly.
