Form will not display image attachment from subform

[standonthefloor]

I'm relatively basic with Access, so I'm not sure if I've done this the right way.
I'm creating an Emergency Contacts form that let's us look up contacts in case of emergencies. The way I have it set up is all the data gets pulled into a subform, but only their employee ID and Names are shown, this acts as a selector. The main form references the selected record in the subform and puts it in an easy to read format. Everything works perfectly, except for the attachment that contains the picture of the employee (somewhat large company, the picture acts as a way to verify you have the right person). It just shows up as a blank box. When I open the subform by itself, the picture shows up fine, but I'm not sure why it won't pull into the main form. Any help to get this working would be greatly appreciated! Also if there is a better way to do this I'm all ears!



Thanks,
Pierce

put photos in an OLE field.
you cannot show ATTACHEMENTS directly. They must be extracted before viewing.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply, when I try this, I get a box that just shows the icon, and does not display the picture, do I need to change any settings to get this to work? Also when I have it as an attachment, the picture does display on the subform.
