Picture button
Tim Elbert

I am creating a database for our hanging basket flower orders.  I want to have the end user be able to click a button to show a picture of the flower mix selected.  I am trying to get a picture to open with a command button on a form.  I created a subform with the photo information and it is working fine but when I create the command button on the form, clicking it brings up an empty page.  What might i be forgetting?

How is the picture set?
Can you not just display that picture on the form with the rest of the info?

You mention a SubForm, is that embedded in another Form?
What is the Source of the SubForm?

The picture is set using a text box with the location of the picture and file name, bound to the mixId.  I then used the 'Image' button to set the photo and set the control source to 'Picture'.  It works fine in the form, as expected but it doesn't work when i put it in the order form.
I don't want to put the photo in the form because many orders have multiple baskets, of different mixes and I do not want to show them all at the same time, only when you click on the 'picture' command button associated with that order.

Let's see some screen shots so we can picture your pictures. (See what I did there?)

The orange is a subform in the customer form showing purchase history.  The blank looking form is the picture form that I want to link up with the 'More Info' button (along with some other thinngs eventually).  The property list is for the MixPicturesSubF.

How are you opening the form?
How are you setting the image?
Are you using an embedded Macro or VBA?

I am using a command button to 'open form'.
I am using the file location and name in the table field.  I believe it uses an embedded Macro.
The form is pulling from my MixChoicesT and it seems to be working fine when I open it up.  I have a CustomerF that uses a BasketOrderSubF to pull up the order information for that customer.  This is where i am wanting to put the command button to open the PictureSubF.  I will show more photos...

I seem to have answered my own question.  In describing this I realized that I was pulling from the wrong location.  The BasketOrdersubF is relating to a query.  Once I did the same for the picture, it is working.  Thanks for the help!
