Automatically Displaying gif and jpeg files in field on forms

[shenlee]

I've been trying to display a picture in a field on an access form. The table field is defined as an OLE object. In the form, I have created a bound object on the form. When I opened the form I inserted a link to a picture file, a different link for each record. The pictures do not display automatically though, I have to double click on the field to display them (unless they are bmp or ico files in which case they display automatically). Does anyone know how to get the jpegs and gifs to display automatically?

Give up on the OLE path. Go to http://users.impulse.net.au/predator/accessdownloads.htm and download the ImageSample97 Db. It's a great way to include images in your project.
