Link to imaged distributed by AutoFEUpdater

[TESA0_4]

Hi,

This question exposes my relatively novice status with things IT!!

I have created a split FE/BE application and implemented Granite Consultings
great AutoFEUpdater utility to distibute the FE and shortcut to the users'
PCs.

In the .ini file I have MainApp=%appdata%\RAHAZ to create a folder called
RAHAZ where the FE and several other files are distributed.

I have several logo images that are used on multiple forms and a picture
used on one form that are currently embedded in the FE. If I make these
linked images the size of the FE will reduce by 10MB!

What I want to do is distribute the three images using AutoFEUpdater to the
user PCs to the same folder that holds the FE; however, I can't work out what
the syntax should be for the image filepath in the 'Picture' property for
each form in Access. Obviously, the filepath is different for each user
because each user has a different name.

Can someone help me out? Thanks in anticipation.

I have done some more research and found that the solution to my problem lies
in creating a table to hold the filepath/file name of the files I want to
display. The helpful source was:

Whoops! I was too fast in concluding I had a solution. I had full filepaths
and filepaths using the %appdata% environment variable in my test table and
did not realise that the filepaths using the environment variable was not
being read until I deleted the full filepath records from the table!!

My original question still stands if someone can help me.
