Take a look at

Many supporting documents that will support our
research and become part of reports surely must

I use TIF format almost exclusively for the images I attach in Legacy
(census, scans of documents, photographs, etc.). Most of these files
are way over 200KB - in fact they are all in the 3-5 MB range. I have
never had a problem with Legacy handling, saving, or displaying these
images. The

I haven't had any trouble over 200 Kb but if Sherry said so it must be true.
That's how it works. The linked files go with the database. Look out
for renaming files outside of Legacy though as it can be a pain to find

Just a minor niggle, but in fact you should have addressed your post to
