Hi

when going to next record a dialog appears in the middle of the screen with
text:
Importing C:\pictures\pic1.jpg

Some of my users are very annoyed about this because when the use next
record to fast sometime the system hangs and the have to shut down the

Good question, I've wondered about this. I don't know how to remove it and
you're correct that the app can shut down if the users scrolls fast with the
mouse wheel.
On a fast computer it's not a problem, but on older ones or with large
images it can be.
What I did to get around it was:
In the Forms OnCurrent event set the timer to for example 500 miliseconds.
In the Timer Event: Load the image and reset the timer to 0.
That creates a delay, so that people can scrool through records. If they
stay on one record for half a second the image loads.
Hope it helps a bit.

You can make a change it the registry which will suppress that dialog -
you can find details at www.mvps.org/access
But this will not solve the problem of users scrolling through records too
fast.
One approach which some clients prefer is to have a separate button to
load the image. That way they can scroll without loading the image for each
record. But that's definitely a question of client preference...

I understood that the bug was caused by the repeated display of the
Loading Image dialog. THerefore removing the Dialog will also remove the
bug.

Just my $.02

If you mean that I know more ways to upset my wife than you do then you
