How to insert photos using command buttons . . . 1

[OverDrive]

Jus' wonderin if any of you guru's out there knew how to create command buttons to insert and delete photos in a control on a form? INTENT: My intent on this was to allow the client to install a recent photo of there employees and also have the option to delete or re-insert an updated photo. Is this possible, and if so, please clue me in . . .

One thing I have done with great sucesss is Load a picture.

But will this allow me to use a command button to be able to change the picture or will I have to keep getting into design view and changing the picture every time I want to update a picture. My whole point was to have the user have a nice simple button click to change a picture if he had one he needed to upload or one he needed to change.

any sugg.

based upon Doug's (well written!) FAQ I just did...

Private Sub Command0_Click()
    If Me.Image1.Picture = "C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\ccf\Database\Image87.gif" Then
        Me.Image1.Picture = "C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\ccf\Database\Image88.gif"
    Else
        Me.Image1.Picture = "C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\ccf\Database\Image87.gif"
    End If
End Sub

Works well! there is a the breif "Loading..." window that pops up too quickly to be a real annoyance.

so it does what you're looking for.

If i want to load the bitmap image and show on the form.mde.
Later, i have to store the bitmap in my form.mdb.

I'm trying my best to place employee photos in my form. I've tried following the steps given but, I just can't seem to get it. Is there someone or someplace I can get step by step instructions? As you can tell I'm not a pro.
