Hyperlink field type

[Guest]

Hi
I am wanting to create a hyperlink to a picture file.
I refer to the picture name in one field and then in a hyperlink field I
want to link to said picture.
Is it possible to create this hyperlink by haviing a default entry which
will be the path and the it routes to the name?

Name: [Name]
Hyperlink: "C:\...\Pictures\[Name].jpg

Is this possible on a form or table, I don't want to use a data page if
possible.
Thanks
Steve A

Hi Steve-

This may be doable with a VBA Procedure, but probably more trouble than it's
worth. Why not define the field storing the image as an OLE data type (either
as a Linked or Embedded Object)?
