Printing pictures in Access Report

[Greg]

I want a report where each page displays a different record and one control will contain a digital photo. The Photos are stored in a subdirectory of the database so I have a text field in the table that points to the relative path of the jpeg file.

I assume that I then drop a OLEbound control on the report, provide the text field as the control source, and then I'm at a loss. how do I tell the control to actually display the image?

Thanks in advance,

Greg

You would use an Image control and you will find your answers through the
following page at The Access Web:

Forms: Handle/Display images in forms/database

If you will be printing a large number of images, see, also, the following page
at Stephen Lebans' web site:
