How to display OLE images in forms from Tables

[CMontoro]

I've got a form about personal attendance list (table: ATTENDANCE) where I need show their photos (these OLE images are save in another table PERSONAL)

How I can show photos in the attendance form ?
Thanks

if you search this forum, there are several threads covering this topic, including some good sample databases. If i were you, i would store the path of the file in a table, and then on i would use an unbound image control on your form to link the images.

Carlos, search for threads on this subject that I have answered. I have provided some details on how this is done.

Max and I agree - OLE is not truly required and the side-effects on DB size are incredible. Which of course affects response time and reduces the work involved in database repair/compaction.
