So, in a report or Form I insert a space for an image and then i change the
properties? or how does this work?

Are you asking how to get the Image control onto the report/form?
Add the Image control from the tool box. Add ANY picture to the
Picture property. Save the change. Then go back and delete the
Picture.
The Image will stick, and you can then either change the Picture
property directly or set the picture property using code.
If the Picture property is taken from a field in the table that is
included in the record source for the report/form, depending upon how
you have set the field up, if you have included the path and picture
name in the field, (i.e. "c:\foldername\PictureName.jpg") set the
Picture property to:
[FieldName].
If you only have the picture name in the field (and all the pictures
are stored in the same folder), then use, as the Picture property:
"c:\foldername\" & [FieldName]
You could, if the situation warrants, leave the picture property
blank, and use an event to set the property:
ImageName.Picture = "c:\folderName\" & [FieldName]
Which event depends on whether you are in a Form or a Report.
In a form, probably the form Current event.
In a Report, probably the Format event of whatever section the Image
is in.
