picture as background problem

[wendi_b]

I have created a db with a picture linked to every form as a background.
The mdb file and the jpeg file are on the server but if it is open and someone else tries to open it it will give an error and the bg won't be linked to the forms.
If the picture is embedded the db becomes sooo large (from 700 kb to 43 mb!!!!) so that's also not the solution.
Hope that someone can help.

Your db should be split with a copy of the front end on each users hard drive and all the front ends should be linked to the one back end [shared tables] on the network.

Also, please delete all of your duplicate posts.

Thanx, but the guy I made it for doesn't want that. He just wants to have a mdb on the server, so maybe no bg, you can't have it all...
