Membership Roster with Picture

nbslarson · Nov 4, 2009

I am a rank beginning and I need to create a roster of our volunteers,
including their picture.

I have the table set up and the form, but I'm having a great deal of
difficulty inserting the pictures.

Can you please offer some guidance?

nbslarson,

Images should not be stored in the database as you find yourself up against
the 2gig limit in no time flat. Have a look here
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/imagehandling.htm for alternatives.

Thank you for answering, Steve, but I must be doing something wrong. I have
the path information stored on the table for the volunteer information. All
pictures are stored on my C drive in a folder named Volunteers.

The table is set to
Field Name-Picture
Date Type - Text

The form has a box on it with the name picture, control source picture
(relating back to the table).

When I tried to add an image fro the toolbox, the software kept asking me to
select a particular file.

Can you please assist me once again?!
