Bound Object Frame

[Chris]

Thanks for the help in advance!
This involves embedding linked images in a Frame in an
Access form.

- I have a form pointing to a table. This table has a
field ('photoname') containing the path and filename of
jpeg images in a Windows directory.

- In the Form, I wish to create a Bound Object Frame that
references the 'photoname' field and shows the
corresponding jpeg image as that record is viewed.
Therefore, I created a Bound Object Frame, using
the 'photoname' field as the Control Source. I then
selected 'Linked' as the OLE Type Allowed.

My problem is that the image referenced in the 'photoname'
field does not show up. Which Data Format does
the 'photoname' field need to be? When I choose 'OLE
Object' as the Data Format, the path in the field
disappears and becomes 'Long binary data'. The format
doesn't work as a Hyperlink or Text either. Please help!

Try Image Control.

For more info. on which Control to use, see Access Help topic:

"Which type of frame should I use and should I insert or link my object in a
form?".
