Update an Image on a Form

[Jim Bunton]

Form has a bound object frame
I can paste a .jpg image into it BUT

I want to use the returned path - ReturnedFilePath - from a Browse Dialogue
to update the picture displayed.


******** Tried but doesn't work - code snip *********

'OLEBound98 is the control name
' controlsource: prPhoto (Table Field)
' displayType: content
' UpdateOptions: Automatic
' OLEType: Embedded

Me.OLEBound98 = ReturnedFilePath
' also tried
'Me.OLEBound98.SourceDoc = ReturnedFilePath
******** END Tried but doesn't work *********
