I have some jpg's in a table, and tries to show them in a form. I've put in the control source and everything, but the picture will not come up in the form. Only a jpg-icon and the name of the file.

Can someone help me?

Regards, Kent
 
Kent,
This link provides a sample by OldSoftBoss on a slick way to show images in a db but not actually store them there in a table (DO NOT store the images in your db it will bloat to a huge size very quickly!!!) Instead, store them in a common file location on your hard drive 0 or if the db is to be shared - on your network. Then you simply store the path to the image.

I have used this example in my db's and it works great :D

the file is zipped and named imagesample97. Post back if you need help implementing the solution in your db...
