Images in a continuous form

[Gary Hull]

I am working on a project that has a different image in each record

I am using the technique that stores the location of the image example
C:/cabinets/2DoorBase.bmp

It works great if view in a single form, but when I use a continuous form
based on the table where the file names are stored I get the same image
displayed in all of the records.

Is there a way to solve this problem where the image of the file named in
each record show up in the continuous form?

Right it shows the first image in all of the forms

You can't do that in a continues form.

The only suggesting would be to have form where you place the continues form
(aka sub form) on the left side, and as you navigate, on the right side you
display eh image control.

I have a few screen shots and the very last one is an example of a form with
two "sub forms". I did this since I could not have a continues sub-form
display inside of another continues sub-form. So, the simple solution was to
use two forms side by side. You cold perhaps do the same...

This would mean that the right side image control could be quite large, and
in fact nearly as larges as the left side continues form with the records.

So, basically, you have to display one image at a time. If you MUST have the
image in the grid display, then you have to use a 3rd party grid control, or
even the listview control. (but, using activeX controls in your application
means you need to adopt a installer, and install script).
