Pictures in a Form

I have a database that automatically builds a table with the following fields:

Location
File Name
Version
Date
Size

of the pictures in a specified place (user defined). Once it builds that table the user can insert other fields: theme, subject, etc.

The pictures do not reside in the database, only the links to the pictures. A report can be generated with all of the pictures. I would like to do the same in a form.
For each record, I would like to have another field (OLE Object) that is displayed (generated) for each record without puting the picture in the database in the form.

So as the user scrolls through the records on the form they can see the actual picture and the data associated with the picture.

Thank you for any help
Greg
 
Just create an empty picture box on your form and have it changed when you need using the following :

Forms!<Form Name>!<Picture box name>.Picture <Path & Filename> &quot;In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.&quot;
