Insert image in Form

[rchhvol]

I recently upgraded from Access 2003 to 2007 and can't figure out how to display an image on a form. I keep getting the file name displayed instead of the picture.

I click on the unbound object frame in design view, click on my form for placement, select Create From File, Browse to navigate to my picture and click on it, click on OK and instead of the picture being displayed on the form, I get the file name displayed. The file extension is .wmf. Please help!

What type of image is it. A wmf is a Windows Metafile. I use jpgs, gif or png and have no problems with images.

I converted the .wmf file to .jpg and still get the same results; the file name instead of the image. -Pam

Then use the Image Control rather than the Unbound Object Frame.

Sorry my mistake. I use nothing else.

Thank you, Simon!! I had the Unbound Object Frame confused for the Image Control. I have looked at this for hours! Thank you so much! -Pam
