how to insert a gif or jpg file into a form?

[Dirk]

Hi,

I use version 2003. I can put a gif or jpg pictre into a OLE field, but when
making a form, i only see a pictogram and not the picture itself.
How can i do that?
Thanks

Make sure that the file association of your image files is with an OLE
server (such as MSPaint). You may find that your images bloat the database
more than you are willing to accept. In that case try using the technique

to store the path to the image and display it on demand.
