    Linking pictures

    I would like to print out 8 pictures as part of my report. Due to size issues I would assume using a link would be the ideal way to go?

    I am trying to let the user select the pictures so under the table that stores the records I made 8 picture fields to store the links. Under the form I tried using


    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
    like my Inside Out book does but my computer doesnt recognize this, is there another way I can let the user select the file path for the pictures that they want to show? Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

    I found something interesting, when I right click on msoFileDialogFilePicker and click definition on the program that came with Inside Out it takes me to the definition and when I do it on my program it says "Identifier under cursor not recognized"

    Under C++ I know you have to do # includes but I am not familiar with anything like that for VB, any ideas?

    Ok, I used the API Open method to save the file path. At this point how do I display the pictures in a form or report? I tried putting an image on a form with the source as the field name that stores the file path but that didnt work.
