[Rockhounds] Database template?

[Lawrence Rush]

Julie: I use MS Access 2000 for my mineral catalog.

Although I haven't added pictures to my mineral records, the instructions 
look straight-forward:

In Design View;

Hit the Image tool;

Hit "insert picture"

I would be happy to send you my record format, if it would help. I use 7 
fields per record, with 11 entry elements in all.
