Hello,
I'm trying to create a form that includes an image using a URL which is coming from an external network. The photos are located on an external server and I need them to appear on my forms as I toggle thru each entry (over 40,000 entries). I can see the photo if I copy and past the URL into EI or Firefox, but the form Image continues to remain blank on the FORM VIEW. Can someone help me please?

Also, I tried converting the URLs into hyperlinks which do not seem to work from the FORM VIEW either. The hyperlinks are blue and underlined, but do not open anything up.

Any help is very much appreciated!

Thanks!

My bet is that you need to have a webbrowser on the form to show an image using http://. What version of Access do you have? I think Access 2010 comes with a WebBrowserControl you can drop on a form.
