thumbnail in field?
I'm making a simple database of my model trains. one of the (form)
fields is "Photograph" and it asks me to right clickinsert object and either Create New or Create from File. I've been choosing from file, I select an image and show as icon. the icon goes away after I reopen the form. Is there a way to show a thumbnail of the photo? |

espee2,
You really don't want to store pictures in the database (though Access 2007 does handle images better), it cause bloating which will push your database to it's max size very quickly. Try this link which has MANY samples of how to insert/display images in forms and reports. NOTE, that would forms and reports not tables which are just meant for data storage not for *display*. http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/imagehandling.htm -- Gina Whipp 2010 Microsoft MVP (Access) "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "espee2" wrote in message ...
