Button to Toggle Image On/Off

[Tycho4511]

Hello,

I am creating a database of all the artwork we use in our creation of videos. One of the fields on the form view shows a thumbnail of the image. Some of the images are quite large, thus I did not embed them. Linking works great but moving from one record to the next is a little slow at times, I understand this is just a byproduct of linking large files. To quickly move through the records I go into design and make the thumbnail field not visible. This works for me but for other users I would like to have a simple way to turn the thumbnail image off or on. It seems like a button on the form toggling this would be optimal. Is there a basic way to set this up? Thanks!

Sample code for a standard button

Private Sub cmdHideShow_Click()

If Me.cmdHideShow.Caption="Hide Image" Then
   Me.cmdShowHide.Caption="Show Image"
   Me.ImageControlName.visible=False
Else
   Me.cmdShowHide.Caption="Hide Image"
  Me.ImageControlName.visible=True
End If

End Sub

Modify button and image control names as necessary

Great, thanks for the help. I was able to get it set up. I did have to change the name on lines 2 and 5 of the code from ShowHide to HideShow.
