How do I programmatically change a built-in picture on a control? (1 Viewer)

[usr_X]

Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Usr_X

in theory it should be easy

if [condition] = true, then me.picture = file1, else file 2

Maybe I need to be more explicit. I want to be able to programmatically select one of the built-in pictures for a command button. When I return the cmdButton.Picture value for a built-in picture I get the value "(image)", but not a name or path or other selectable value. So, is there a way to programmatically change the image? Thanks, Usr_X

How do I programmatically change a built-in picture?

Access 2007: When selecting a built-in picture on a command button on a form the picture property for any chosen image shows "(image)", i.e. there is no selectable file name/path for the picture. However, I think that there must be a way to programmatically change a built-in picture. Does anyone know how? Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Usr_X.

Re: How do I programmatically change a built-in picture?

What I have found so far: As far as I can tell, Access 2007 doesn't name built-in pictures. There's no way to access a built-in picture with VBA. However, I have found a solution of sorts: Use the .PictureData property to select the picture from an invisible control on the form. For example, cmdVisible.PictureData = cmdInvisible.PictureData. It's not an ideal way (why clutter up the form with invisible controls) but it works. Any other solutions appreciated.
