Hi I have a table that holds (amongst other things) path references to images
stored on a hard drive. I have creaed a query with all the fields I require
and I want to be able to display the images in a report by passing the path
and image name to an image object in the report. Can this be done?

SB,

Yes this can be done.

The path name field (the field containing the image path) should be on the
report in the section with your image. Dunno why - but it needs to be on the
report - set visible to NO if you don't want to see it.

In the Section's "On Format" event set the picture property of your image
control with your path and name for the desired image. I believe this can
also be set in the "On Print" event if you prefer.

If you have large reports with lots of images you will find bitmap images
are more reliable.

Thanks TerryC, that did the trick. Mind you I have had to break the report up
a little, over 6000 images to format!

Well that's a bugger - the text from the records ouputs to word ok but the
images don't :(
