    browsing too and for path to picture

    This may have been asked before, but I am not finding what I think I need. I have a couple projects (work and home) in that I have pictures stored outside of access. What I would like to do is in a form, create a button to allow me to browes to the file in question and store the path to that file. Then, print that picture in a report. I have done a thing with having the pictures actually in access, but these other projects make me think the external pictures would be easier for the end user. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    Use Windows FileDialog to browse to and select file and save the path in text field. Very common question. Here is one https://www.accessforums.net/showthr...ght=filedialog

    Use Image control with ControlSource set to the field to display on form or report.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.
