I am nowhere near an expert with Access and I really need some help.
I have a simple database where I need to have pictures attached to a record. I know that in itself is realatively simple to do - here is my question:
on my form can i insert the pictures as a thumbnail & then - when the user double clicks on the thumbnail have the full size picture open up? (I am assuming at this point they will be jpeg)
I know I can display as an icon and double clicking will allow me to view full size with the program that created it, is there a way to see a larger version - right within access?
Please help if you can.

thank you!
 
I know in VB this can be done.

Sorry now that i was playing with it, I found your exact solution.

I presume you know how to get your pictures into the Image conrtol. Change the Size mode Property of the thumbnail to stretch. Thsi will shrink it to the size of your thumbnail. Craig, mailto:sander@cogeco.ca
