Add image control "on the fly"

[steve7800]

I have a form which displays data one record at a time. Some records have a file path to an image, some records have paths to more than one image. Many records have no related image.



In the Load event I can determine if the record has related image or images. If it does, I would like to add an image control for each related image and set the image control source to the file path for the image.

How can I add image controls “on the fly” as the need for them is determined? How do I set the source of the added image controls to the file path?

Thanks.

You can only add controls while in design view. You probably need a subform (continuous or datasheet) that will, when a record is selected, show the image for that record in the image control on the main form. What you're describing just doesn't seem practical.

Have you considered using a continuous subform with three controls bound to a table having your RecordID as the foreign key of your main records table(hidden), another text box for the path and a third image control where you load the pic. It makes things a lot easier...

Thanks guys. I'll look into the subform idea. Might be back with questions about subforms
