Does anyone have any leads on how to do this.

My db catalogs images from a CD-ROM and uses the pathname and filename to
view the photos. I would like a means of viewing more than one photo at a
time--either in continuous form view or in a report.

Any ideas or references to follow?

Thanks,

My solution would be to use an unbound form with a grid of unbound images
for which the source is set through code.

J. Clay,

Interesting idea. . . I just need a way to refer to the FilePath and
FileName fields of the next record, and the one after that, and so one, for
each of the thumbs on the form. The photos are indexed on the PhotoID field.

Me.[imgPhoto].Picture = Me![FilePath] & Me![FileName] 'for the current
record
Me.[ImgPhoto2].Picture = Me![FilePath] & Me![FileName] 'for the next
Me.[ImgPhoto3].Picture = Me![FilePath] & Me![FileName] 'for the one
after that . . .

Better yet would simply be a way to get the image control to properly
display each record's image in continuous form view, just like the rest of
the text fields do.
