Same here. I think I see the discrepancy. At the 18:00 mark of Lesson 3, Rick pastes the path and file name of his picture with no trouble. When I get to this step and paste the path and file name, I get a control source error......no such control source exists. I get the same error if I try to put the path and file name in the control source field in the properties tab. I also tried to use a text box to replicate the picture field with the same result......control source error. My guess is that we are using a more recent version of Access than Rick is using in the lesson. I believe Rick is using Access 2013 in the lesson. I am using Microsoft' Access' for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2403 Build 16.0.17425.20124) 64-bit. I suspect the method Rick is demonstrating is no longer an option in more recent versions of Access.

i posted before reading through all the threads. Rick addressed this 2 months ago......see below. Rick replied to someone: Start with an equal sign and enclose in double quotes.

Hi Bob and thanks for replying. Are you saying that in the text box marked picture, we need to put an equal sign first and then a quote sign, the link to the stored picture and then end with a quote sign? Ken

Yes, ="C:\Users\Admin\Picture.jpg"

Thanks Adam and Bob. I will do that and see how that works.
