Promoting SharePoint images to Infopath image holder

P

Hello,

I am attempting to create an Infopath form that promotes information
with a drop-down menu which references a SharePoint list. I have two
neighboring controls beside the drop down list; a text box and a
picture control. The SharePoint list has three column values: Item
name (single line txt), Description (mult line txt), and a thumbnail
formatted as a picture column (url/pic). I can successfully pull the
Item name and Description column, but can't seem to find a way to do
the same for the picture control.

This post was an excellent start:

But I'm trying to design the form so that you don't need to edit it
every time you want to add an item. I'm designing it so that all you
need to do is add an item into the SharePoint list. After reading the
post above, I took the same approach but instead had the drop-down
menu reference the node of the SharePoint data connection, set the
Value as the picture column, and the Display Name of the Item name.

I know I'm onto something because if I set the description text box's
default value to the thumbnail value, it returns the URL of the
picture. But I just can't seem to find a way to get the picture
control to take this URL as it's source.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks!
