Display Images with each record filename is stored in field.....

I have a data Table with a Picture field in it that contains the filename of
the appropriate picture to display ie Tank123.jpg ..... What I want is to
display this picture along with the orwsource data in typical fashion on a
form. I thought this would be an easy thing to do but surprizingly I can not
figure it out. It is a breeze to do in ASP.net but I do not have that
luxury.... unfortunately must stay native Access 2007...... Any help
tutorials would be really appreciated,,,

Thanks,

Rick

Use an image control.
In Access 2007 (only), it has a Control Source.
Specify the name of the field that contains the fully qualified file name.

Thanks,

The problem I had was a stupid one I kept saving the dbase in Access 2003
format by mistake and I don't think it knew how to deal with the 2007 image
control's control source property. Once I saved it as Access 2007 smooth as
glass, life is good again....

Thanks again,

Rick
