G'day Rick, thanks for the seminar on Access Imaging. I have a question regarding image paths for forms and reports. The VBA code you show for image paths in Item 22.: Image Report seems to me for Absolute paths. I have created some code to create a relative path which lets me use the Access mbd on different computers.

My code works fine to allow image display with forms, but I cannot make it work for Reports.

Here is my VBA code:
Public Function GetImagePath() As String
    GetImagePath = GetDBPath & "images\"
End Function

Public Function GetDBPath() As String
    GetDBPath = CurrentProject.Path & "\"
End Function

Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)

End Sub

Private Sub Report_Current()
    Dim HieroImagePath As String
       HieroImagePath = GetImagePath & Me!image_file_name
        If Len([image_file_name]) > 0 And Len(Dir(HieroImagePath)) > 0 Then
        headword_image.Picture = HieroImagePath
        Else
            headword_image.Picture = ""
        End If
End Sub

Private Sub Report_Load()

End Sub

Private Sub headword_image_Click()

End Sub

Private Sub image_file_name_Click()

End Sub

Some suggestions on other forums I've found say to create a hidden field on the Form, set the value to be the path then set the Picture object to be that

Me![PictureImage].Properties("Picture") = Me![ImagePath]
