Displaying images within continous forms 1

[Aildiin]

I have a book database with pictures of the books.
I have been trying to show those within a continuous form for a couple of days and I can't get it right.
Here are the solutions I tried :
1) Store the images as ole (bitmaps) within the database and display them in bound object frame : this works OK but this is not viable as the database will have over a thousand pictures and each image I store increase greatly its size
2) Store the images as chunks(gif or jpeg) and use a third party activeX to display them : this fix my size issue but the trouble is I am now in an unbound activeX and if I have 5 records on a form they all show the same image (when I have stored a different one for each book)
3) Store the path of the images and use a picture control whose image I set through vb on the current event. I get the same result as 2) (all pictures are the same on a given page)

The only viable solution I see is to store the filename in the base and to use bound object frame whose source would be calculated based on the filenames, the troubles is I can't get this to work.
Anyone can help or give me another solution ?

I use the Graphic Wizard (

http://WWW.unsoftwareag.com).

It comes with a sample app that displays the JPGs either on a single OR continous form (and it solves the bloat and all the other graphic file-related ACCESS problems).
