Re: Biometric data & Picture
Generally speaking you wouldn't want to -- the database would get very large, very fast. And once it hits (2gb I think), it won't be able to be opened on different computer systems.
Generally with picture-like information you only store the link to the picture in the database.
Otherwise... you end up reading/storing the picture as a binary thing (or storing the image from a image/picture control) into a blob-like field (can't remember Access's name for it).
Microsoft has an example that would have to be modified (it uses a sql server, but it's still basically the same):
