Hi,

I have a continuous form mapped to a table that contains filenames. Now I
want to add an unbound column to the form that contains a picture of the
associated icon of the file in the record.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Joep
 
Unfortunately, the continues forms don't really allow what you ask.

I think continues forms are one of the "GREAT" features of ms-access.

You could consider using two side by side sub-forms, and one could display
the picture on the right as you navigate on the left side of the screen, but
the picture location would be fixed.

Here is some screen shots of side by side continues sub-forms. (they allow
you to have "many" results shown for a given record in a sub-form).

However, the above don't help you if you need a different picture in EACH
row. For that, you need to use an activeX control, (listview, or something
like tlist7 from

Thanks Albert for your reply.

I am convinced that further looking in access does not make any sense and
should look for third party controls.
