Hi all -- very much a newbie, so please bear with me on this.

I created a report in Access using a table which contains a field with links to images on the web.

As suggested by others, I've created a picturebox and updated the code in the report to update the image in the box to Me.[imageLink].

When the images exist on my local machine, the report pulls up the images just fine. However, the moment I update my source table with " links, Access gives me an error 2020 and is unable to pull up those images (I removed my error handling code just to check).

I think I've figured out that the issue is that the images I am linking to do not have any file extensions (like .jpg). For example (this is not one I am using), this is one of the URLs that fails to load an image in the report:

Is there any way to make Access open this as an image in the report?

Thanks so much in advance!
