Linking a hyperlink (texbox) to a Photo

[JohnnyBQue]

I may be going about this all wrong but I have a text box that is Hyperlink to a directory that opens fine and gives me access to files that I need. What I want is to place a photo of a particular button I've found (in the form) and on the click event have the hyperlink in the text box activate and open the directory.

1. I can't change the shape of the text box or place a picture within it...
2. I can set the pictures control source as the hyperlink text box but that serves no purpose...
3. I lazy manned it buy making the text box transparent and all the text white then overlay-ed the picture ...it worked but I would like the appropriate way to do this.....being at such a critical stage of my access development......

use a image control instead of a textbox, or use a button, you can add the picture there

Okay I figured it out....went into the OnClick event and used Application.FollowHyperlink [controlsource] and I now open the file associated to the particular employee. I had to change the data from Hyperlink in the records table to just text but keep the file path. I know have to figure how not to get a error back if some on clicks the button and there is no data...I get the null error....thanks guys for all your help....
