store images in text field, but use file picker

[waza]

Hey,

I want to store images in a text field and show them with vba on reports and on the forms (image control).
This all works, but I need to type the path to the images.

Is there a way to use a file picker for this, but still store it in a text field?

Thanks,
Seba

any of the fileopensave dialogs should let you browse and select an image file - in fact what they ACTUALLY do is give oyu the fully specificed path to the file - which is what you want - what you do with thisstring is then up to you - storing it is perfectly usable

i use fileopensave dialogs (windows API) taken from access cookbooks - i know theres others- its just you get famiiliar with whatever you first use
