Need help with jpeg images in Access database

I'll start by saying that I have scoured the groups to see if this
answer is around. I can't find it. Here is my plight"

I've built a simple inventory database and I need to see a picture of
the product when I look at each record. The images are stored on an
outside server giving all of my images an http:// address. I can't
seem to figure out a way to insert this. I don't want the images to be
stretched or disfigured and they are all different sizes. I am not
opposed to using a third party plug in but I can't seem to find one
that is easy to use. I have DBPix and for some reason I can't figure
it out. Please let me know what I can do to add this final touch to my
database. Thanks in advance.

You cannot insert an image which has an Internet address. You can, however,
use a browser control and point to a webpage which has an image on it. Choose
the Web browser control from the list of "more controls" (the icon at the
bottom of the toolbox will get you there)

Use the Navigate property of the web browser control similar to the way you
use the Picture property of the image control.

I have figured it out by using ImagXpress combined with the
Form_current control I can use URL addresses just fine. Thanks for the
help anyway.
