Unable to store photo in database
First, know that you cannot store photos into an Excel spreadsheet database, as only true databases are capable of storing photo objects.
In your database, confirm that the data type of the column is set to Binary Long Object, or OLE Object field.
This applies to storing signatures into your database as well.
Example of Microsoft Access Database
You will also need to make sure that the column is properly defined in the Database Setup window of the Configuration tab.
1. Allow editing database records must be Enabled
2. Add a storage item then define the location of the photo field, then set the Storage-item usage to Store the cardholder's photo under the Photos/Signatures tab.
