How may I enter a link to an external file in Base

I am trying to get a Base table to give details of my fishing trips (a fishing log) that will also show photo’s relevant to the catch and location.
Is there a way I can hold the pictures in an external folder (nested in the same folder as the database files) and use a link to call therm up for that record as some photos will be duplicated across records and embedding them will massively inflate the size of the database files.

Hello,

Yes. For a very simple method on doing this, see my answer in this post → How to insert a link to an odb database to display an image.

The images/photos can be located in one or many folders.
