Displaying Pictures on a Form (Access XP)

[K. Georgiadis]

Objectives:
1) display on a form a picture that changes with each
record and
2) because the number of pictures is large, store the
paths to the pictures on a table, rather than storing the
pictures in the table

Problem: I followed to the letter the relevant
instructions from Access XP's built-in Help Menu,
including the addition of event procedures to
the "OnCurrent" property of the form and to
the "AfterUpdate" property of the text field containing
the location of the pictures.

There may be steps or syntax that Microsoft assumed would
be obvious to someone attempting this procedure, because
the picture simply stays the same on all forms.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Try comparing what you have implemented so far with the Employees form in the sample Northwind
database (2002 version).
