You can try AccessImagine (http://access.bukrek.net), all you need to do is to bind it to some BLOB field in Properties Inspector.

Depending on the size of the Image data that you are saving, you'll want to use one of the flavors of the BLOB:

I think the max sizes on them are:

BLOB - 64KB max

MEDIUM BLOB - 16 MB max

LARGE BLOB - 4 GB max

I believe the best way to store something like an image in a database is with a BLOB field (Binary Large Object), which is basically just a chunk of data.

Hope this is some help.

Use the BLOB type.
