I see there are several threads on pictures on forms, but i am still a bit confused about how this works.
One guy mentions using LoadPicture - but MS says this is used for ActiveX image control...don't think i'm using activeX, but I tried it and got an error stating that Access could not find file 1234567890.
I have a table that stores the full file path/name, along with a file number, so PDF, pic, DOC file paths will be stored here. Each file has an ID (not the auto-incremented one).
Another table contains a field with the file ID. This is the table that the form is bound to. I would like to be able to change the picture (if needed) for the particular item that the form is displaying, so I thought a combo box would be reasonable. However, I have trouble getting the image to appear. So far, i get the same error unless I put the file path directly into the Picture property in design mode.
I think it may have something to do with the backslashes, but I'm not sure yet.
Recommendations?
Thanks.
