Insert photos in a form

[Ixak]

Hello
How could I insert a photo on the database and show it in a form?
I have created an OLE object and try to insert a photo but I don´t success
showing the picture in the form, I can only open it clicking twice and see
the image but not surfing form one record to another.
Thanks for all

Look at the Employees form of the NorthWind sample db that comes with Access
and see how they did it.

The sample imaging databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com illustrate three
approaches to handling images in Access, and the download includes an
article discussing considerations in choosing an approach. Two of the
approaches do not use OLE Objects and, thus, avoid the database bloat, and
some other problems, associated with images in OLE Objects.

If you are printing the images in reports, to avoid memory leakage, you
should also see MVP Stephen Lebans' http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm.
PrintFailure.zip is an Access97 MDB containing a report that fails during
the Access formatting process prior to being spooled to the Printer Driver.
This MDB also contains code showing how to convert the contents of the Image
control to a Bitmap file prior to printing. This helps alleviate the "Out of
Memory" error that can popup when printing image intensive reports.
