I'm trying to embed (rather than link) a bitmap image into a report. Access
help says: "To link to an image, click Link, and then click OK again to
complete the process. To embed the image in the table, leave the Link check
box blank and click OK. The words "Bitmap Image" appear in the first field
of the Image column in the table."

I don't see the link option, and my images are always linked. How do I
change link to embed? I'm using Access 2003.

Best,
Christopher

The documentation is a bit confusing and I still have not located the "Link
check box" described in Access Help. However, there is a "Picture Type"
property that can be set to Embedded or Linked. Apparently, the path in the
"Picture" property is not used when if the "Picture Type" is set to
Embedded.
