Placing An image in a form 1

[thrax]

I need to display a .tiff(s) on a form(s).<br>
I need also to store the source in a table<br>
i.e. "c:\somewhere\image.tif". So that a user<br>
using a form can enter the name of the tiff and<br>
the tiff would then be displayed on the screen.<br>
Hope someone can help me with this problem

You can do this in one of two ways:<br>
1) Create a table to store the image and a description, keyword, etc. (image is actually stored in the database file); or<br>
2) Create a table to store an OLE Object, description, keyword, etc. (image ia actually stored elsewhere with pointer to it in database).<br>
Also note that you ought to consider storing online images in a compressed format like JPEG or GIF 85a to save space. Zip, archive TIFF images to tape (don't throw them away).<br>

Look at the Northwind sample project (that ships with Access) for examples of how to embed images into the database.<br>
