adding pictures in Access 2007
I have a database that I created and one field is Picture with the Data type
being OLE Object. I have created a form from this table and when I link a picture in the record it shows up as "filename".jpg (command line). I have to double click on the file to open the picture. This is not what I want. I would like for the picture to be present @ the time I look @ the record. I have read through this site and can't find anything that is associated with Access 2007. I know it can be done because I have another database that I created in Access 2002 and it worked fine. Is this a problem associated with 2007 or am I doing something wrong. Any help would be great. |

adding pictures in Access 2007
I've heard Access 2007 may have improved the situraion, but up through at
least 2003 the OLE object was not a viable store pictures; the way to do it is to store them separately and then just store their location and file name in the table, e.g. in a text field. Then there have been several posts on how to display pictures in a form or report. (I don't know it fluently enough to just write it out here from memory.)
