Adding an inage to a dataset?

[idopps]

Hello, I am new with VB. I have made a dataset that has a persons name and number. Now I want to attach 2 profile pics to their file, so it pops up with their information. How do I do this? Makw a picture box that is tagged to the dataset? How do I get VB to store images, like jpg or bitmap? THANKS!

In general (but not in all cases) it is a bad idea to store the images in the dataset/database itself. Instead store an identifier (ofent filename) which can be used to associate the data with the actual image.

Where do I find this feature (identifier (ofent filename))? It seems the help topics built in the VB program don't explain too well.

...identifier (often filename ... path\image.jpg for example)...
