Adding Images to Reports

[thunderdownunder]

I am trying to work out a way to link images to my report. I will have a large number of images and don't want to embed the images into the database as that will make the size of the database massive.

Any suggestions on a way to link images (preferably) from a image storing facility on the internet into reports, so the image prints on the report?

Thanks

You can create a table that has the path to the images stored on a file server.

I created a table with LogoID and Logo. LogoID is the name of the file and Logo contains the pasth to the image (including the image itself C:\images\sample.jpg).

On the report link that table to the recordsource and place the field (hidden) on the report. then place an unbound image control on the report and set the controlsource = Logo (the path to the image stored in the table).

All users must have access to that folder for the image to pop through.

Good Luck!
