    Linking to picture in text field


    This is more of just for convenience for me for the initial data entry. I have created an inventory database that tracks all of the assets in our company over the last few days. IT is functional, but now its time to fluff it up. I am going to add the display pics that we have for all employee on the form that displays their information and what assets are assigned to them. I want it to display their picture on this form as well. I have it working, but am wondering if there is an alternate method to copy and pasting the local URL to the picture.
