Combo Box Image Viewing

[Andy]

I am using Access 2002 sp3.

I have a combo box that is used on a form whose control source is a query.
The query has an image field in it that containes a picture of the item to
select. I would like to display this image in an unbound OLE field as the
user scans down the pull down menu. So far I am unsuccessful.

I have tried to set the value of control of the unbound OLE object to the
Column[#] of the lookup but it has not been working. Is this possible? Even
when I hard code the control source of the unbound OLE to the column number
of the lookup it does not work.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
Andy

You cannot display an image in an Access combo or list box. You may however,
be able to find a third party activex control that will work in Access.

Here's one that I found using Google:
