Problem displaying pictures on a form

[bigdaz29]

I have a table with a field containing a Jpeg image as an OLE object but when I create a form or report from the tables data the picture only shows as an icon instead of the picture, the property is set to content and I have tried with both embeded and linked pictures..Iv'e done this in the past but cant seem to get this opne to work..

any ideas

thanks in advance.

I have done this before, but messing with OLE objects is an absolute nightmare! It is far easier to use an Image control and change its picture property e.g. Image0.Picture = "C:\MyPic.jpg". As long as you don't need to modify the image this is a much easier way of displaying an image.
