The type field « Image » on SQL-Server is a misnomer and should have been
called Binary or LongBinary or something like that instead of Image: it can
be used for storing any kind of binary data - including images.  However,
Access - with either MDB or ADP files - has a peculiar way of storing images
in a database: instead of directly storing their binary content, it stores
their names only or it transforms them to OLE objects before storing them
into in OLE field (for MDB) or an Image field (for SQL-Server).

You should look into the Access newsgroup for answers about using and
storing images with Access; the solutions are the same for both MDB files
and ADP projects.
