The HR Department in the city I work at recently created an Access Database to input employee information.They want to be able to print ID cards for employees.The problem we are having is everytime we insert the picture the image is to big.I was wondering if anybody new if I could control the size of the image within Access or is that something I have to control within the camera? All pictures are JPEG's

Answer to a side issue. When using earlier databases, I have not tried this on the latest versions. When copying images to Access make sure that the copying is being done from a source that gives the data to the Database fast. For instance, copying from something as slow as a remote location or floppy drive can corrupt the database and make it unrepairable. This happened twice to a patent database before the user realized that what she was doing -- caused the failure.
