How to use a image path that is in the database.

M

Michael

I have a dropdown list with one of the columns linked to "photo" field in
the database. In the "photo"field I have an address as so "F:\photos\image
small\can2.bmp".

I have added a bound object frame on my form. and placed
"=ProductName.Column(7)" in the data control.

I have the column count set wide enough. When I click on the image holder I
get the following error.
"The OLE object is empty You can't edit a bound object frame if the field in
the underlying table doesn't contain an OLE object. Embed or link an OLE
object into the bound object frame ....

I tried this and I got a static image. I would like to have the image change
each time someone makes a choice in the product list. I would like to have
the image on the screen to make sure the user has picked the correct item.
thank you
Michael
