I am making an address book application and I have figured out how to add images to each record for a "profile pic". What I want is; when the user creates a new contact I want a default image to display in the image box (I have the image). I am quite good in Access, but not familiar with VBA code (If I even need VBA code). I hope I explained this well enough and any help would be appreciated.

i don't know about a default image property for forms, but there could be one. you could use a picture local URL in the picture property on the new record() event of your form. or how about an OLE object in a table somewhere that you could refer to? that might work as well. how is the profile pic field set up in your app right now? local URL in the picture property ? OLE's I think have to be bitmaps. i might be wrong though
ajetrumpet is right there. Using an image control for this you could change the image on the form's BEFORE INSERT event which triggers once a new record is created. I think it accepts bmp, jpg and ico, and I think there's a workaround for gif.
