hyperlink for image display on form isn't working

[lscheer]

I've created a basic photo database and read many posts here already on how to do it, so I think I've got it set up right.

I have a table with info about the picture that stores a hyperlink for the image path

The form displays all this information with an Image frame that is used to view the image (it is not an OLE frame).

The frame's picture (default) is set to "(none)" and updated on the forms current event with:

Me.fraImageFrame.Picture = Me.ImagePath

For some reason, every time I open the form or move to a different record, I get an error that "Microsoft Access can't open the (Image path) File"

The hyperlinks work fine in the table and in the form when clicked to open the actual file, but for some reason, my display image in the form isn't working.

Any thoughts?

I figured it out myself. I guess the ImagePath field in the table needs to be just a text field. I've inserted a field that is also a hyperlink so I can have a hyperlink to open the actual image from the thumbnail on the form.
