Inserting picures into records in the form view

First off I am new to using access so I don't know all the ins and outs, so
this may be a easyquestion. I have Acess 2000. I have made my data base and
was creating recordsi n the form format. I wanted to have different pictures
in each record. I understand how to do this. 1) create a table - making
sure you have the data you want as pictures as a OLE object. 2) when creating
forms rright click and select "insert object". Browse around and look for
your file. 3) Click on the file you want and it gets put into your form.
Now, the picture I want is put into the form, but it does not show the
picture, only an icon representing the picture and the file name below. If I
double click on it it opens the file and shows the picture. Is there
anything I have to turn off or do differently so it shows up without having
to double click the icon?? Thanks

Oh yes one more complicated question...how do you create tabs in form view?
That is, how do you have multiple sheets(tabs) of information on the same
record(different tabs show at the top of a record) in form view? Hope that
makes sense! Thanks!
