Images From the Web

Does the URL download to cache file still work? I've copied and pasted the URL and used it in a form but the form displays no images. I've even tried hardcoding the URL rather than refer to a field and still no joy.

Which control are you using?

Alex, thanks for replying.

I have been following Richard's video - Images from the Web

Simple form, text box called Link includes the URL

I have downloaded URL download to cache file, the file is included in a module

https://599cd.com/blog/display-article.asp?ID=2569

I opened up an image field in the form and for the control source I have typed in "=DownloadCacheFile([Link])"

When I open the file, nothing in the image field.

What's the file type you downloaded?

Many thanks for replying. An example of what is included in the Link field: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Wollstonecraft#/media/File:Mary_Wollstonecraft_by_John_Opie_(c._1797).jpg

I should also say that I'm using Windows 11.
