Re: large photo file

[Lee]

Thanks to all for your helpful hints. I'll explain a little more. The 
file containing the photos will not be added to very often, if at all. 
So that file will remain constant and will not be backed up, apart from 
the first instant.  All that is required is for a number of people to 
access it searching by a description. My idea was to use 2 files with 
the photo ID as the relationship.
One file with the photos and the with other only 2 fields, photo ID and 
a brief description containing key words for each photo. Users will only 
be searching for photo/s by inserting key words. No backups each day 
will be necessary for either file, apart from a copy of both when 
initially created.
All that is required is for a user to open the solution enter one or 
more key words and have that photo/s displayed. There may be a 
requirement to print that photo but that is all.
Does that make it an easier proposition to deal with ?
