Hello everyone,

I have a database with photos and reports (jpg). I wanted the reports and
photos to be viewed on a form; however, an icon is displayed. How do I
display the records and photos on the form? What am I doing wrong?

I have four fields; Photo 1, Photo 2, Photo 3 and Report record. The type
is OLE object. There are over 1000 entries thus far. Help!!, what to I do?

Chantel.

size mode set to "zoom"To have images appear in mine I had to use .bmp files
and link them into the database. However this resulted in my database
containing a copy of each image (they were only 150x150 pixel max size
(photoshop resized)) and a link to the original .bmp thus if I changed the
original the embedded one will change. Couldn't get it to simply use the
external file without embedding. This database of mine is now about 52mb in
size with 299 records of which 2/3 have thumbnails.

In forms that display the image: The properties of the "Bound Object"
frame's size mode set to "zoom" si the image scales.

That is how I got thumbnails into my database. The experts may know of
better or more elegent ways though.
