Display linked image in form view

[brs]

hello friends,



i want to display the linked image in form view. 'ole object' has the property 'display type' as content or icon. but both settings shows only the icon and file name. 'attachment' field does show image in fom view but attaching images (jpeg or png) will increase database size.

what is the solution?

you take your a path \\server\folder\ or c:\

then store that into a table field or a VBA string variable e.g.

dim strPath as string
strPath = \\server\folder\images\img01.jpg

now you can change the ole control object to picture to = that string (strPath) or field from the table

one example

the other method is to set the control property of the ole to the field from the table with the path

example two

Another approach is to set the ControlSource property of Image control.

Store the image folderpath\filename in text field. Bind Image control to the field.

If images will all be in the same path, can just store the filename then an expression in ControlSource:

="\\server\folderpath\" & [fieldname]
