Richard, thanks for this seminar. I've got things working as needed by using code to target the needed images on a form and it works great on my computer, however, I need this to be portable. This is what I need....I'm using a variation between 5 different images on a form. Currently I point to the differing images using a separate button control to choose which image using VBA. AND it works great, but I'd like to store these images in the database without nessesarily storing each image in a record. Currently, if I use this database on another computer, the path is changed because of different users, so I need to include only five varying images within the database. I thought perhaps these 5 images could be stored in a table and changed by a control on the form, but after reviewing the seminar, just don't see how without imbedding each image into a record, therby inflating the database. How do I target a bitmap stored in a table (if this is even the right approach)Forgive me if this was covered in the seminar. Thanks in advance for any help. You da man!

Reply from Richard Rost:

If the images need to travel with the database, then yes, you should embed them in a table. It will inflate your database, but if that's what you've got to do for your solution, then that's what you gotta do. I did cover this in the seminar. It's not hard. You could just use one separate table for the images and then refer to them - you don't need a separate copy for each record in your main table. The only other solution would be to put them on a web server (if all of your users are online while using your database). Then you could just all point them to a URL for the images.
