Remember what Access is, a Database, data, not pictures.
The following code will allow you to open paint and edit the image. (WinXP The path to paint may differ with different OS's
Me.PicFile is the path to the image.....
Dim strAppName As String
Dim strPath As String
If IsNull(Me.PicFile) Or Me.PicFile = "" Then
Else
strPath = Me.PicFile
strAppName = "C:\WINDOWS\System32\mspaint.exe " & Chr(34) & strPath & Chr(34)
Call Shell(strAppName, vbMaximizedFocus)
End If
