Perfac, is that real data in the picture? Not sure if you want it displayed online if so. A moderator can delete the picture if appropriate.

ControlSource property can be an expression, examples:

=CurrentProject.Path & "\" & [fieldname] & ".jpg"

="\\servername\folder\" & [fieldname] & ".jpg"

="C:\folder\" & [fieldname] & ".jpg"

This means can call a Function that returns a value for the image link.

I have never used Picture property for dynamic display of images.

June, thanks. Reportview does render a perfect image but only after displaying a distorted screen and one have to click a few places to get the whole page to display. Yes the form and the print do it right. We have high respect for Access and enjoy using it, it is great. For our own business it is not an issue, but if we can get that right for the third parties using our application of course it is better if I can get it right. If it can not be done, we need to know until then we try.

No Paul the info is fake, thank you.

If it's fake, rather strange that you have exactly the same information on the contact page of your website .....

Yes, I have encountered the image distortion on PrintPreview with jpg and gave up trying to rectify. Just tested with a png and it is not distorted.

Thanks for all the concerns and advice. The bank account number is fake. Over 4 year I am reckless with my phone number, but I did not receive one unwanted call yet. I will change it now.

June it is good news. As I said we have hundreds of images, all saved PNG format, following Ridders's advice. If you managed that, so should we. I don't know what we can try or adjust but I will try today.

Well, darn, decided to try jpg (correction, this is jpeg) next to png. Both are images created from the same source - a scan of my driver license. Both look exactly the same in PrintPreview, undistorted. Now looking at jpg created from camera, it is distorted.

[Perfac]

Most of our images are downloaded from the internet. Logos of businesses and photos of them. The photos on the attachment here on top was done with a camera(Cell Phone). I will test what you found. Thanks

[June7]

I took that camera jpg and used MS Paint to resize from 965kb to 17kb. It now displays without distortion.

[Perfac]

Thanks. We always resize or reshape with MS Paint. So I will reshape as you suggest and let you know.

Thank you June, it works.
