The Search Button

I have created a form with a background picture and then thought - wouldn't it be good if you could easily change it. So I created a "Setup" form where the path to a picture could be placed. Then on load of the main form just go me.picture = field on the other form. Bingo it works.
Except on the setup form you must enter the exact path and extension in the field.
Now the question...
Can I program a button to open the standard windows 'choose file' window to add the file to my field ? (Take the guesswork out of it)
Thanks,
Dave

Here's a sample for you to play with.

Brilliant. Even better than what I had in mind. This procedure can be used for many different application.
Thanks, Thanks, Thanks

This is by far the better way to store images.

Holding one pic as an OLE or standard background pic is ok but, if you're going to save numerous pics, the database will increase in size enourmously.

With the sample, it stores only the file name and path, so not bloating the db.



Have fun

How I can use this sample database with OLE object (I know it's database too big but never mind...). I need pic in table.
