How to set an image for a photo directory

[eninen7]

I am developing a photo directory for my company so we can have a picture beside the employee's names. I downloaded an online templete known as 'Contact List' and I have inserted the infor I want to show, however, under my "picture" column I am unable to set the field to Image. (actually, I can set any of the columns to image)



So, how can I have my picture column display as an image for my contacy directory?

I wouldn't store the pictures in the database. I would have a folder to store all of the pictures.
Then, in your database Contact table, I would have a column that shows the picture id. Then on the form to show then contact I would have a button that, when clicked
would open the photo.
You can do that with a FollowHyperlink, or you have an image list.

I don't have access2007, but I have used these techniques with Acc2003.
Good luck

I can set the pictures as you said, however, when I go to print the database, the photos do not show up, which is the whole point of the database. We went to make copies of the company directory that includes each persons photo. So, how does set up work?
