Attachment Picture in Report

[ck1999]

I cannot get a picture to show in my report.

I have a tblpictures


[pre]Field 1 pictureid
Field 2 picturename
Field 3 picture <-- this shows as a paperclip in table[/pre]


I have an attachment control with control source

"SELECT tblpictures.picture.FileData
FROM tblpictures
WHERE (((tblpictures.[picturename])='corrosive'))"

It does not work

Have also tried

"SELECT tblpictures.picture
FROM tblpictures
WHERE (((tblpictures.[picturename])='corrosive'))"

Property of "Display As" is Image/icon

it shows an emtpy box. Table name is correct and fieldname is correct. Have replace . with ! and that had no affect.

When I run an sql datasheet view on

"SELECT tblpictures.picture
FROM tblpictures
WHERE (((tblpictures.)='corrosive'))"

I get the paperclip in a cell and can double click to open


What I am I doing wrong.

Thanks

I doubt you can make a control source a select statement. You can only do that with rowsources. Why not make the form bound and then just set the control to the filedata field. I you have to have a different rowsource for the main form than put the attachment control inside a subform control.

I am having three or 4 picture put in different places on report. Is there away in vba?

Sure, but you need to explain in better detail. How are the pictures saved, attachment, linked, ole etc? What pictures are you trying to show in relation to the report. How is the report set up?
