Convert URL Field To Show Images

I have a field in my database which holds the Image URL in text format for each items picture. Is there a way to make this column show the actual image, instead of the URL?

Sample Pic Database (1 table/1 form)

I'm attaching a simple sample. Be sure to go into the table and change the file paths to your own as it won't work since it won't find those files on your computer. Then, open the form and move through it. Check out the code that does the change.

EDIT - I changed the word form to table in the 12th word. Oops!

Thanks for your help. Does this work when the URL's are not on the same machine, but are instead on a webserver. This is an example of one of the image addresses that I'm trying to link to:

When I try to run the form, I get what looks like a crash, and it asks me if I want to debug.

Theoretically it should, but I didn't have a way to test it. Maybe someone else can assist us with that answer.
