I have a program that you enter a part number/serial number into the search text box, press enter and the program displays everything about the part. Now i'd like to add a picture of the part. I had started by using a Picture box on the form and entering the following into my search code:

picbox.Picture = "\\Jupiter\Labeller\Pictures\" & (TxtSearch.Text) & ".JPG"

Basically telling the program to use the network location and load the picture with the name in "TxtSearch.Text" + .jpg extention. But it doesnt work and for all my trying im just not the greatest programmer in the world. I'd really appreciate the help anyone here has to offer.

Many thanks
D

Try...

Set picBox.Picture = LoadPicture("\\Jupiter\Labeller\Pictures\" & (TxtSearch.Text) & ".JPG")
