I am currently trying to build a database with employee details and their picture. Would anyone know how you associate a picture with a record. The image has to change for each record on the form.
 
just add a picture plus box to the form

Then To add a photo in photo box, highlight box, click EDIT, move down to PICTURE and then IMPORT. Navigate to and highlight the picture file that you want and click then IMPORT button.
 
I Agree with the first response however if you are adding a lot of pictures you will get very large *.dbt files. Therefore if you are using the data for other purposes think about creating a seperate database with just a pic field and unique identifier and joining this to the database.
Also if you should ever have recourse to use another dbf reader you will not get problems (As picplus fileds are not "standard" dbf format)
