Storing small icons in a table for use in continous form

[Tiger955]

Hi!

I searched without success for a solution to show small pictures (icons) in a table field to show up in a continous form.

Purpose is:
a communication log table has comm codes such as
- mail out
- mail in
- tel call in
- tel call out

the comm log table has the fields
CustomerID, datetime, CommCode

The CommCode table hast the fields
CommID, CommCode, Icon

The form (subfrm) should show in continous form mode to each customer

Datetime, (commCode), and to visualize the Commcode the small image (icon) presented by an envelope with an arrow right, an envelope with an arrow left, etc.

I cannot find a solution for storing those little images and retrieving them from an OLE-Field.

All my other pictures I do not have stored in the tables, but only the image path, but for that I would prefer to store them directly into a table field as they do not blow up the database.

Thanks your help
Michael

Perhaps just reference the image file that is Access 2007 or above using the Image control.
