It is possible. You have to declare a field as BLOB (Binary Large OBject) using LongVarBinary.

See HOW TO: Read and Write a File to and from a BLOB Column by Using ADO.NET and Visual Basic .NET[^] for accessing such fields.

But note that saving large amounts of binary data in databases is not recommended for performance reasons. When there is only one client accessing the Access file it might store such files in the file system instead and store only the path in the database.
