linked url image

[mlabac]

I need to display a linked image on a form. I know how to do this if I point to an image on a server. I need to point to a url as the images are not stored on my local server.

strImage = "

http://www.imagelocation.com/img/320477.jpg"

img_Image.Picture = strImage

Can this be done in access?

AFAIK you may use UNC (not URL) for the Picture property.

I do not have acces to the UNC, just a url. Any way to do this in access?

You may consider the Application.FollowHyperlink method.
