Tell Me Something Here

I am absolutely fine if the opinion is STOP where I am till I learn more if that is the answer here. This is in my Home Inventory DB. What I want to do:
I want to add (multiple) image paths to my form (not display image)but instead of typing the paths I would like to browse and click the image and it place the path in the text box. I also want to do this with attachments like receipts, warranty and any other paperwork associated with the item. Am I too far ahead of myself here? If not point me in the direction what I need to study.

I actually have something very similar to this coming up in one of the developer lessons where I want to show people how to drag and drop files into a record in the database, and it's going to store a path to that file, whether it's an image, a Word document, or whatever. It doesn't matter. But yes, that's a developer-level lesson, so it's going to involve some coding.

Thanks a lot. Thank you

I have done this for years. I store the paths (I also a shot the image) in a subform after scanning the receipt/invoice along with a button to open the file. I believe there is a video on this site that would explain the process.

	Lee Shastid OP @Reply 6 months ago
Garry that sounds like what I want to do. If you happen to recall what video would you please post and let me know. IU would appreciate it.
