Hi

Probably a stupid question, but can Access store symbols in a table?

I have a project database and would like to use symbols to show project status ie smiley face if on track, sad of not etc. Can this be done?

Thanks Nigel

Yep, set field type to 'OLE-object' I love work.
I can just sit and look at it for hours.
 
Thanks a lot, excellent Nigel

OK, I need some more help please, never worked with OLE objects in Access before.

I have a number of symbols stored in a table along with their description. On my form, how do I make the relevant symbol appear when the user clicks a button in an option group corresponding to the description?

I have no idea which settings to go for, all help gratefully received.

Thanks Nigel
