Setting the Picture Property

[jsparks]

I am using the ADO Data Control to retrieve information about a retail catalog from a database. When the user looks up a record, the details of the record are shown along with the matching image. In my HTML/ASP version of this project I specify the path in an image tag, and then insert the style number for the image from the recordset, and then add .JPG on the end. It looks like this...

<IMG SRC=/IMAGES/'<%=RecordSet.Fields(&quot;STYLE&quot%>_D.JPG'>

...I'm basically dropping the style number in the middle of the directory and the file extension. When the loaded style changes, the image changes.


I need to duplicate this in VB6. I have the form created, the ADO Data Control working properly and pulling data from the database. I just can't seem to build the right line of code for the Picture property to get a dynamic image.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Jim

Take a look at Loadpicture.

i have looked at and used loadpicture, but am having difficulty writing it to use the stylenumber field as the first part of the image file name and _D.JPG as the last part of the image file name.
