Actually, I think I've worked out how to do most of this. I've added an object field to my main table, I've inserted a bound picture box on my form and as I flick through my records, I insert the relevant jpg using the right button on the mouse (insert object etc.). By double-clicking on the picture box the jpg is presented.
So far, so good, but it LOOKS horrible! Goodness knows I've tried but that picture box waiting to be clicked just looks awful. I've noticed I can make the picture box invisible, so I thought about adding a command button which when clicked would launch the picture. How could I do that? Is that a sensible option? What are the other / best options?
Am I missing something here? Have I gone about this in the right way? For all I know, I could be using the wrong technique entirely.
Cheers
Mike
