Update Image

[Mat Child]

Hi,

I have 'switchboard' form with an image control that uses a linked image on
a shared drive.
Every so often we change the image (cos we're pretending to be google) by
just overwriting the original file with a new one. The next time the form
opens up again the new image is displayed.

However since this form never actually closes unless the database closes
i've tried to program a timer event to re-draw the image.

I've tried .refresh, .requery & .repaint. None of these actually work. only
it seems closing and re-opening the form, which is something i'd like to
avoid.

I know it's trivial but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hmm, sorted it.

just used me!controlname.picture = "path to picture" and it reloads itself
