How do I open hyperlinked images from Access table/form?

I have images in a folder and I created an update query to create hpyerlink
to those images in the hyperlink field. When I click (in the form and
table), the hyperlink does not open the images. When hyperlinkbase was
specified, it only opens the folder, but not images. Can anyone help me open
each image with the OLE server when the hyperlink is clicked?
 
You will need to edit each hyperlink. Right-click on each one and enter or
navigate to the path. You can avoid all of that, save space in the database
and make it work better by changing your hyperlink field to a text field. In
the form's double-click event use something like this:

Private Sub txtPath_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Application.FollowHyperlink Me.txtPath, True
End Sub

where txtPath is the name of the textbox holding the path data.

Arvin,

Will you please review my post? The subject line is: OLE - Package vs
Bitmap.

Thank you,
