Hi guys. I am new at this. Trying to build a form where I can load a picture. i.e. I need to be able to click on the Bound (?) Object Frame and then be taken to the pictures folder to choose a picture which will load it into the form. How can I do this please.

Thanks

Welcome to AWF! You've asked a question in the "Introduce Yourself" forum which decreases your chances of getting your question answered.

If you haven't done so already, try asking the same question in the "Forms" or maybe the "Modules and VBA" forums.

Good luck and again, welcome.aboard!

Hi. Welcome to AWF!

In case it helps, I have moved your thread to the Forms forum. Good luck!

How comfortable are you with VBA? Because the easiest solution for this would involve some VBA coding?

Also, when you want to click on the control to browse for a picture, will you also know ahead of time which picture you want (such that you are merely linking the control to an already selected picture) or will this be a full-on "browse and look at the pictures?" (HINT: The 2nd one is MUCH harder.)

Thanks for your reply. The picture will need to change as it is part of a record.
