    Insert Image in Access 2010 ???

    I am use to using access 2003 but I recently switched to 2010. When I am in a report or form design view there is an icon to insert an image but it is greyed out. I went to the help section but we all know how much help those searches really are (none). How do I insert an image into a report in 2010?

    The Insert Image is probably greyed out because the file format is not 2010.

    Running 2010 against a 2003 file format (.mdb), set report to layout view, then under Design (Report Layout Tools) on the toolbar you should see the Image control as the last control on the right.

    Yes, "Insert Image" is still greyed out, but look to the left. You should see the image control (mountain tops w/sun).

    ok, I think that is going to make me an unbound image control, I will have to play around with it and see how to get it to do what I want. Thanks for help.

    How do I get to Layout View. When I right click on the report name, it says Layout View is unavailable.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
