I want to display photos on my forms (through a link)I did look at
northwind's employee form. I also spent a couple hours searching through
other people's questions and answers clicking on links, searching searching
searching, they all seem to assume a familiarity with access I just don't
have.I just don't get it

I need a different photo with each record in the same file (like in
northwinds), but I don't need or understand how to do an add/remove button
and know absolutely nothing about code. I can't figure out how to add a photo
frame without adding a picture in form design.I can copy and paste the image
frame from Northwind but don't understand the "Photo" field name in table
design view vs. the "Image path" in the table or how to get it to work in the
form.

Have windows xp, and just got access 2003 this week(01-02-2005) and got
everything else to work fine (simple form) but this has got me stumped. What
I really need is a remarkably generous person to email me step by step
instructions on how to do this,
Thank you

signed, frustrated and broke.
 
Add a field in your table which is a type of OLE Object. Then in a form or
in the table view, right click in the field and pick insert object. You can
then browse to the picture to add to this record.

Hope this helps.
