Picture Combo Box

[vivian]

I really need a combo box that will show a picture of the item selected. I will have a list describing the picture that i want to have shown, and when the description of the picture is selected, i want that picture to be shown, either in the combo box, or in an OLE box.


I tried searching the forum but couldn't find anything applicable.

Help much appreciated.

Thanks

OLE object's

once you have a table setup like the following example, any form browsing these fields will show it's appropriate picture.

tblItems (table)
Item (Text)
Picture (OLE Object)

checkout Northwind sample database's Categories form for an example. is that what you were thinking?

OK, I've got a table with 2 sample drawings in it (one column with ID, one with Description, and one with the link to the file on our server with the picture)

Then, in my form I have a combo box with all of the descriptions and pictures in 2 columns.

I also have and OLE object in this form. I would like the OLE object to be according to the description chosen in the combo box.

I think we're thinking the same thing, I'm just not sure how to link the OLE object directly to the combo box.

Any Ideas?
