bound object frame not working properly on form

[FL]

I create a Bound Object Frame on my form. I'm trying to link a different pdf
file to each record on the form. Two problems. First when in normal form
view I try to add a pdf file to this record. When I look at other records
the same pdf file is attached to all records. I want it to be a unique pdf
file for each record. Some records may not have a pdf linked.

Next problem is I select link and display as Icon. I see a PDF icon but
when the form is in normal view I see "Acrobat Document" text and not a PDF
Red/White icon. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

As a rule, you must put pictures in an UNbound object frame or you pictures
will be blank.

ok, thanks. So my approach must be wrong. Any idea how to link a pdf using
an icon on form?

You probably could build a form with all your pictures in it (in unbound
frames.) Then you would have to build a table with al your picture names in
it. You could then put a combo box filter on your mainform to select the
picture desired. If you want to automatically select the correct picture for
each item, you may need to use command buttons for that. Sorry, I don't deal
that much with pictures. If you don't find a solution, post back and someone
who knows more can reply.
