We are making a db to collect pictures of animals & plants in the area. WE
want to take the picture on said object and have it automatically go into an
OLE field.

We have made the field and have managed to put a picture into it. HOwever
when we actually insert the .jpg file only the filenalme is displayed. Any
ideas? This is also a very small db thus I do not need any thing too fancy.

Thanks for all your help.

I store my graphics outside of the database. In the database, I create a
hyperlink field in a table. Then, to display the graphic on a form, I use
code like this which fires on the OnCurrent event:

Me.SomeImage.Picture = Me.SomeField.Hyperlink.Address

Set the image control to "Linked" Also, delete the picture property so it
reads, "none."

Hope this helps.
