Hi,
I have a database keeping a catalogue of my products
including their photos.
I have stored the photos path in a text field to reduce
the size of dtatbase. in the forms i have no difficulty
as i use the Access rules to link an image control to my
text field so i can see and brows my record one by one
while i can see their respective photos change. But in
Report it is another story, i checked microsoft help and
it recomends the same way for reports as the forms, like
using Current_Report() codes but actually, in reports
there is no OnCurrent event and when u go to control for
the image path, there is not event to choose in its event
property. I want to print a catalogue of my products with
their photo and i can't do it. please help me! :)
 
Instead of the OnCurrent event, as you use in Forms, in Reports, you use On
Print (you could also use OnFormat, but because that event may fire more
than once per record, there is likely to be a performance penalty).

There is an issue using compressed files in Reports (it may have been
corrected in Access 2003, but I have not tested that). I believe there is an
approach at Stephen Lebans' site, http://ww.lebans.com for converting your
image files to bitmap before displaying in a report to bypass this issue.
