Rick,
I don't believe the image control can't be directly bound to a General field
I believe it can. I'm pretty sure I've done this -- but not 100% certain.
MY3MCS,
Set the ControlSource property of the Image control to the name of the general field.
Let us know if it works.

MY3MCS,
I am indeed privileged to be able to assist you with your problem. I have always desired to post a solution one day, but the questions that have been coming up are so difficult for me. But alas I have got the answer for one!
Instead of an imagecontrol, you would need to use an oleboundcontrol. The latter has a controlsource which you set to the General field containing the photo. If the picture is in a field called photo of a table called photoalbum, then you set the olebound control to a controlsource of [photoalbum.photo], braces excluded.
Good Luck

MY3MCS,
Did you find a way to make the image control work like Mike suggested (if so how?), or did you use the solution that castor2003 proposed in using an oleboundcontrol?

Yeh MY3MCS,
How did you use the imagecontrol to bind it to your General picture field. The imagecontrol has no controlsource property as Mike questioned.

I was wrong and Caster was right. There is no ControlSource for an Image.
What I did was to drag a General field from the data environment onto a form. I looked at the property sheet and saw that it had put the alias.fieldname into the ControlSource property.
Of course, I should have checked that it was an Image control. In fact it was an OLE bound control, as Castor correctly said.

Hey Guys!
Thanks for showing interest to my problem(ex) but Here's what I did.
I save all the Pictures into my file under general field and when I made my form, I put the oleboundcontrol instead of the imagecontrol. Then on the sourcecontrol of it, I put my database file and it worked. Yes, I followed Mike's suggestion. I hope I answered all your questions guys. Good luck.
