Dynamic picture object

[strantheman]

Ive searched all of the Access forums, and I haven't found a solution that works. This seems like a very common procedure so im sure someone out there can help.

My ITEM table looks like this:

name | imagepath
-----------------------------------------------
Linksys Cable/DSL Router | d:\lsBEFSR41.jpg
Netgear Switch | d:\ngFS105.jpg

Name is the name of the product, and imagepath is where the photo is stored on my drive. My report pulls NAME, IMAGEPATH from ITEM table for the specified ID. I want to show the name of the product, and its corresponding picture on my report.

For this discussion, lets say the two objects on my report are named itemName and itemImage. I would assume this is as simple as setting some property of itemImage to the IMAGEPATH field, but ive been unable to figure this out. Please provide any help that you can. Id be willing to receive an email with a sample MDB file if thats what I have to do.

thanks in advance, im really hurtin here.

I have a small sample program that does this That I can send you if you give me your email address. It is one that I got working for another guy. you would have to change in the Process form code the 'Const PathFile = "C:\pics\Test Pics" ' to your local pics and change the paths in the processdata table. After that it will work for you so you have an example. If you want it send me your email. Also I would send it zipped so you would need an unzip program. Dave
