OLE Images

[Guest]

I am attempting to display tabular records with a related image for each
record. The image is stored on the local drive with the same filename as the
record id and the bitmap file extension. I am not aware of how to link the
file to an image object based on the record id. Does anyone know how to do
this in Access 97? Your help is appreciated. Thanks!

Create an Image Control on your Form and use the Form_Current Event to set
the Picture Property of the Image Control to the full pathname to the image
file (inluding the file extension).

That's fine for single record displays. Note that I am looking to display
tabular records! In this case the image control would display the same image
for all records.

You would have to insert the Images as OLE objects as this is the only
possible method that would allow you to view the records in Continuous
view.
Due to size constraints it would only be possible to insert a small
number of images depending on the resolution and color depth of the
original images.
