About OLE on a report

[Ruegen]

Wondering if I can make an unbound OLE/image that displays an image based of a path rather than embedding the image into the form.



Also since I have the path saved on a table record wondering if I can import it from that record even if the record isn't related?

dlookup can find the table and field but criteria is based off current record...

I use an Image control for that. It has a ControlSource property. Bind to the field with the path and images will dyanamically display. Or use an expression to retrieve or construct the path.

I've never had any success using an OLEObject control for dynamic display of images. Requires VBA code.

Management decided to go without images which means I ended up not using the method but it was a question I wanted to know the answer to anyway for future use.
