How do I add jpegs to my Access Reports in Access 2003
Hi,
a simple solution would be to add a text datatype field to your records table. In that you can hold all the full string path values to the external image files. It is not advised to store images within access because of a known bloating problem. You can then use this string path at runtime to display your images on forms and reports. A good tutorial of this can be found he http://www.databasedev.co.uk/bound_image_form.html http://www.databasedev.co.uk/bound_image_report.html -- Oli-S Admin Specialist & Computer Science Major @ UMD - Go Terps - http://www.oli-s.de "Art" wrote: I am currently building a bibliography of books, and would like to a photo of the book cover in my report, how do I acheive this? |

Just add an image control to your report. Size the image
control to suit your needs and set the properties to "Link" and "Stretch". If you don't want to hard-code the path to the image, you can do that in the OnLoad event when the report runs, i.e., Me.imgMyImage.Picture = "fully qualified path of your image." Post back if you still have difficulties. Bill "Art" wrote in message ...
