Fishing Software...

Yeah, but if you move or rename it... it can do strange things to a program.

It wouldn't enlarge the db file if you put a link to the pic, whether it
is stored on the hard drive, or somewhere in cyberspace. It would only
add a line or maybe two to the query response.

Look at this for more GPS stuff.

A section for opinions or impressions would be good.

I don't think so, after all, it's not a problem to leave a space blank.

I think having the picture to go along with the facts looks pretty cool. The
one freebie I got "Fishing Buddy" has it and it's pretty neat, especially
since my wife wants me to keep all those dam fish pictures together :-)

Charles,
If you check for the existence of the picture file before calling an
operation to display it, you can prevent unwanted consequences by calling a
msgbox and exiting the routine instead of allowing a run-time error.
