hi
using VB5 and access97
I have an ole object field in the database containing linked *.gif. In the Insert Object dialog I have ticked "linked" but not "display as icon". The file is listed as "Package" in table.
Ok - vb front end, data control, ole control bound to db ole object field. When I view the form the ole control contains an icon with filename underneath - if I double click then picture opens in photoeditor.
HELP - how do I get the picture to display *in* the ole control. Tried setting actions etc - do I need to set the class property? Slowly going up wall....
For reasons to long to go into here I need to stick with linked gifs and bound controls (no loadpicture statements please). Would move to picturebox/image control - just want to be able to display the picture.
