need help with displaying images

[jker]

In my form i have 7 Image place holders. all the code workd to populate these images.

PROBLEM: sometimes i have 7 images or any number of images. If at first i load 7 images and then 4 images; 3 of the images from the first load still remain.


IS there anyway i can 'initilaize/clear' all 7 images before each time i load a set in?

What's your code? Method of loading images?

Save your images on the network so it wont fill up the db.
put the PATH of the image in a table, then you can have infinite images

Open the image using: OpenNativeApp txtBox
where the textbox shows the path.


You can use this function to open any document and it will open ANY file in its native application.
if the item in the text box is a URL, it will open in default explorer
if .docx file, it will open the document in word
if .xlsx file, it will open the document in excel


Paste this code into a module,

#If Win64 Then      'Public Dclare PtrSafe Function
  Private Declare PtrSafe Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpszOp As String, ByVal lpszFile As String, ByVal lpszParams As String, ByVal lpszDir As String, ByVal FsShowCmd As Long) As Long
  Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetDesktopWindow Lib "user32" () As Long
#else
  Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpszOp As String, ByVal lpszFile As String, ByVal lpszParams As String, ByVal lpszDir As String, ByVal FsShowCmd As Long) As Long
  Private Declare Function GetDesktopWindow Lib "user32" () As Long
