Image upload for user

[Fides]

Is there a simple way to tell access to open the image in the default program when the image is clicked in the form?

Thanks again.

I believe if you attach the image as an attachment instead of using the image viewer, it will open the default program to view the attached.

Access will open images that you tell it to open, automatically.

How do I tell it to open the image? It is shown in the form a smaller version of it. And I want it to open the image when this smaller version is clicked.

Create a Dialog Form with the larger image and open that on top of the existing form:

Function Artists_ImagesOriginalsEntry()

    With CodeContextObject
        If IsNumeric(.[Orig Old Stock]) Then
            DoCmd.OpenForm "Originals Images Review", acNormal, "", "[Orig Old Stock] = " & .[Orig Old Stock], acFormReadOnly, acWindowNormal
        End If
    End With
End Function

I can't just make it open the default program for opening an image?

Access renders the image. You do not need another application to see an image.

I know that. But what if I want to open the default program? (Like Windows Photo Viewer or whatever.)

make it an attachment and not an image viewer. If you make it an attachment it will open adobe for example to view pdf files.
