The easiest method is to place an ImageControl on the form. Put all pictures
into a common folder and name them with the primary key. In other words if your
primary key was EmployeeNum and there was an employee with the number 123456,
then his picture would be stored as 123456.bmp.

Then in the Current event of the form you have code that sets the Picture
property of the image control...

Me.ImageControlName.Picture = "PathToCommonFolder" & Me.PrimaryKeyName & ".bmp"

There are methods that use bound object frames that require you to store your
images within the database, but storing images in your tables leads to severe
file-bloat and they often get corrupted. It's much better to keep the files
stored externally on disk.
 
Dear Rick,

For your suggestion, is there any easy way for end users
to upload images by themselves ? It may be inconvient for
them to find the Record Key, Rename the picture name ?
