Swap Image For Field Value in Continous Forms Mode

[Guest]

Don't ask me why, but can you substitute an image for a yes/no field on a
subform that is set to "continuous forms" mode so that a yes value displays
one image while a no value displays another for "each seperate record" on the
subform? Normal convention would say yes but normal coding will show that the
yes image will be visible for all records being displayed and vice versa in
the continuous forms mode.

Yes. But not using unbound controls in a form. What you need to do is to
build a table with 2 fields: a Boolean (yes/no) and an OLE field. Add 2
records to this table; a true, with its associated bitmap in the OLE field,
and a false with its associated bitmap.

Use a query to join your data table to this new table. In a continuous form,
the bitmaps will display properly because they are bound to the underlying
data.
