    Try using Excel and a DAO data control (yes, I know that it is better to use ADO, but it is quite easy to use DAO in this case.)
    "Can't" and "shouldn't" are two totally separate things.

    All questions should be answered. All answers should be true. That is why I post.

    Can you insert pictures into the database?

    I can't be sure about the pictures thing but i remember its quite easy to use, its declared something like:
    VB Code:
    1. Private DBase as Database
    2. Private RecSet as RecordSet
    Or something similar . I can't tell you for sure because I'm not at my PC with VB on at the moment, I have guests staying over and there staying in the room with that PC in No worries.

    Just go into the assembler thread and randomly pick one of the first 80.
