Picture in continuous form

Dear all,


I have a table containing a field named "PATH", containing the text path
to a jpeg picture.
I have a form browsing the table in a continuous form.
I would like to know how I can display the picture(not the path) in the
detail section of the path. Using an independant object frame, the
picture is the same for all records of the continuous form.
Inserting a blob object in the table doesn't solve my problem, because
even a linked image is stored in the db... and there are thousands of
pics, I don't want the mdb size to increase as if pictures were stored
in it. Using path, pictures can be stored on different disks.

Can someone help???
tkanks a lot,
Alain Bourgeois

You can't do it using a continuous form. It will work in a report if you use
the format event to load the pictures.

If you must use a form then you'll have to simulate the look of a continuous
form by creating multiple object frames and then use VBA to fill them all
with the pictures. This method will still limit the number of pictures that
you can view at once.
 
Is there a way with report to catch the click event on a picture so that I can
show a form with the associated record?
