    What am I doing incorrectly?


    http://www.functionx.com/access/Lesson19.htm

    I am confused here. In the Lesson 19 with the link above it says toward the end of the lesson

    6. Move the accompanying label above the newly added control and change its text to Pictures (s).

    7. ...

    In the property sheet , change the following characteristics :
    Name: atcPictures
    Record Source: Pictures

    I was able to do it all except change the Record Source: Pictures. Something is not correct. When I opened up the Properties (form) that was under
    Properties Table all I saw was an entry for Control Source, not Record Source. What am I doing wrong?

    I believe that I have opened up the wrong form.

    Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.


    Respectfully,

    Lou Reed

    Continuing at the same location, I have another question. At one

    2. Set the name to Pictures and the Data type to attachment

    But lower down it says :

    7. ...

    In the property sheet , change the following characteristics :
    Name: atcPictures
    Record Source: Pictures


    Now what is going on here. I am unsure as to the difference in

    Pictures and atcPictures.

    Please help.

    Thanks in advance.

    Pictures is name of field in table.

    atcPictures is name of Image control on form.

    atcPictures has ControlSource bound to Pictures.
