Missing 'current' event in reports?

I'm working on an Access application that uses external images, and store the path for the images in a table.
When I create a form with an image, I managed to load the external pictures in that object, by using the 'Current' event.
I also need a report doing the same thing, but the 'Current' event seems to be missing! But when browsing the helpfiles, you'll get a lot of comments and examples of the report_current event....
Anybody an explanation? I use Access2003, and tried it with both 2000 and 2003 versions of the application.

Many thanks for a reply!

Look at those examples again. Reports have no current event.

Use the OnFormat event of the section containing the image control.
 
Thanks for the reply, but...

first:
<qoute>
Go to the Help topic Add a picture or object and expand the section Add a bound image control.
</qoute>

In the corresponding example you'll find this: Private Sub Report_Current()

Although you're right: a report doesn't have a Current event...

second:
The Onformat event does the exact thing I wanted it to do, so it works!

Thanks again!
