Pictures linked in a Report.

[emccaul]

My Access table needs three pictures that are bitmaps in separate folders. The directories are "server path\pics", "server path\locs" and "server path\maps". Each record, in my table, has a picture number field (pictnum) to link the pictures. The pictures are named "pic_" & [pictnum] & ".bmp", "loc_" & [pictnum] & ".bmp" and "map_" & [pictnum] & ".bmp". I tried using a function I found online named "DisplayImage" to assign each picture to bound objects named "picnam", "locnam" and "mapnam". I call the function in the OnFormat event the detail section to fill bound objects in the report. I also tried to use the "DisplayImage" function in the control source on the object. The best I get is an error that states "Cannot find file" or a blank box. Can anyone help me link these pictures to the report?

Provde code or database for analysis.

Is your code like example at http://support.microsoft.com/default...%2Dus%3B285820

You could upgrade to Access2007 or 2010 and code would not be needed.
