Your question may be interpreted two ways:
  1. You want to store a file in Access in a field
  2. You want to load a file into a table as records of that table

For option one, i'm not really sure how to do it in Access, however its pretty damn easy with oracle. (one way is to unpack your file (if it is binary) to hex, then store it in a CLOB).

For option two, Access has some pretty sophisticated filters that will allow the importing of files into a table... couple that with some of the VB "magic" you have there, and you can easily put a file into Access (altho' i think this is the wrong forum for that.)
