Hi there,

Can anyone help me on this one. This may be something extremelly easy to do,
but I'm having the biggest problems to make it work.

I'm making a form to enter data in my suppliers table. In this form I have a
combo box, from where I choose its name. I would like to do have the supplier
logo right after I choose its name. How can I do this? Does this have
something to do with using bound object frames?

Thanks for your help,

Luís Graça

The sample imaging databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com illustrate three
approaches to handling images in Access, and the download includes an
article discussing considerations in choosing an approach. Two of the
approaches do not use OLE Objects and, thus, avoid the database bloat, and
some other problems, associated with images in OLE Objects.

If you are printing the images in reports, to avoid memory leakage, you
should also see MVP Stephen Lebans' http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm.
PrintFailure.zip is an Access97 MDB containing a report that fails during
the Access formatting process prior to being spooled to the Printer Driver.
This MDB also contains code showing how to convert the contents of the Image
control to a Bitmap file prior to printing. This helps alleviate the "Out of
Memory" error that can popup when printing image intensive reports.
Does this have something to do with
using bound object frames?

That would be one way to accomplish it... read the article with the sample
database for items to consider in choosing which approach to use.
