Showing file locations on a form and displaying the file on a form

[Guest]

I have a simple database in which I have created a form based on a table. My
only problem is that on each page of my form and in my table I need to show a
file location of an image on a server. Besides showing the file location of
the image I also need to show a thumbnail or just a smaller of the image. My
goal is to have each page of the form show its own image and the file
location of that image.

I appreciate any help on the matter
Thanks

I suggest using a program like Irfanview:

to build a set of separate thumbnails or smaller images. You can embed them
using an activeX control like DBPix to minimize the file bloat:

or just put the path to the an image control on an Access form or report. I
have a sample demo database which you can use or import into your
application to build the paths/tables, etc. with all the code to do so at:

DBPix is not free, but there is a demo. The other 2 are freeware.
