A Complete Image Linking Solution

[treva26]

A very common question in forums such as this is how to have a linked image in your form. Such as a photo in a personnel database form.

I have found this webpage that appears to be a great solution:

It does however lack a little clarity on exactly what else is required such as the names of the image, button and path field.

All it does say is:

You need a form, with an unbound image control, an unbound text control, & a command button.

Can someone tell me, and other newbies like me, exactly what else we need to do and what to name things.

And now for something completely different...

Look at my example for a different approach.
Put the pics in your c:\temp directory.

Use the Application.FileDialog instead of a bunch API calls.

Enjoy!
