IGNORE THE TEXT BELOW. I have just found a way via 'Insert Object', 'Bitmap image', 'edit', 'paste from'

but I will leave it on in case anybody else has the same problem.




"I have created a table with two fields: ID and pic and set up pic as Data Type OLE object.

I want to put pictures into that field. My [pictures are all bmp files.

When I create a form based on the table and insert one of the pictures I get a view which shows me the picture name .bmp When I click the picture it goes to it BUT why can't I see the picture in the form instead of its name in text?

Your help is very much appreciated."

Just bear in mind that storing graphics in your database will bloat it significantly. Search here on images. OldSoftBoss has posted some great stuff on this.
