unbound image control?

[steamngn via AccessMonster.com]

Good Morning!
I have an application where the main screen displays an image of a company
logo. The image control is linked, and the user selects the path to the logo
on a form. This works fine. The problem is the "default" source that goes
into the image control is still looking for that file when the form loads,
and it throws an error. The image control won't let me clear the link (make
it unbound?). I've read several links about having a dummy image, but I would
like to make this project easily portable from one computer to the next. Is
there any other way to do this? Can the image control be set to embedded and
then switched to linked? Help!
TIA
Andy

In the form's Load, Open, or Current event (whichever is appropriate in your
case) ad a line of code to either make the image control not visible:

Me.MyControl.Visible = False,

or set the control to an empty string for a blank image:

Me.MyControl.Picture = ""

Hey Arvin,
Thanks for the reply. If Visible is set to false, then the data source is
ignored? I thought I tried that, but maybe I am mistaken. I will play around
with it a bit more and see if I can get this to work.

No the data source is not ignored, but no one will be able to see an image.
(More than one way to kill that turkey).
