problem displaying image in portable form

[lucyLocket]

Hello

I have one default image in a folder called "images" in the same folder as my database. The image is called default.jpg.

I have a form with Picture Control in which I want this image to display when the form loads.

This code, placed in the VBA environment in Sub form_onload isn't working at the moment,

Dim strFile="default.jpg"

Me![Image93].Picture = CurrentProject.Path & "\images\" & strFile

Any ideas how I can get it to work. I want to make this application portable without having to alter paths to the image on other people's machines.

Is there another way, eg by putting just the file name somehow in the database.

Thanks

Try:

Dim strFile As String
strFile = "default.jpg"
Me![Image93].Picture = CurrentProject.Path & "\images\" & strFile
