Photo on form

[Jean-Paul De Winter]

Hi,
in my table I have a textfield containing the path where to find a photo.
However, I can not actually see the coorect photo on the form itself.
Can anybody please explain the procedure for chowing an individual photo
for each corresponding form.
Thanks
JP

Jean-Paul,

What I have done is created a field in my table that is an OLE object. That
is what will store the picture. Then, with the form in design mode, add that
object to the form from the fields list.

Now, you'll need to play around with filling this object depending upon what
software you have loaded on your machine. It just so happens that today I
typed up instructions for someone to do this using Corel Photo-Paint. If you
want me to send them to you, give me your e-mail address and I'll send it
over. Otherwise, you can get yourself started by, with the form in view
mode, right clicking on the OLE object and selecting "Insert Object."

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have questions.
