I know that it can be done, but I just can't figure it out...

I'm creating an employee database and I want to be able to link their picture to their record and display it on forms and reports.

I think I'm supposed to use a Bound Object Form and then put the location of the file in the data field of the table "C:\SteveSmith.bmp", but can't get it to show the picture on the Form.

Also, does it have to be a BMP or can it be a JPG?

Thanks
 
There's an example of how to do this in one of the Access sample files -- that is, the Northwind databases. Search your hard disk (or the Internet) -- for northwind.mdb and once found open the DB and check the Employee form.

Regards,
Tim
