Hi there,
I am currently working on a form which needs the following capability:-
To have an array of images and to display an image, when a user clicks one of two buttons i.e. forward or back to move through the array and update the image as such with the new image just moved to within the array.
This is a basic overview as the before and after of the above is bit more complicated.
I have read in several places to use a Picture box, now I dont know if I am being plain stupid but I cannot find a tool called picture box; there is image, unbound object, bound object, button .....etc but no picture box ( I tried using the image object but everytime i tried to update the picture it flagged a runtime error saying it could not open file).
Could some tell if me the best appraoch to achieving what i need
Thanks for your time

Check out

http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0030.htm

for the standard way of handling images in forms, or

for a different way that allows the images to be stored in the mdb without bloating, but still allows you to view the pictures on a form/report.
