Images in Access Database

[NellyC]

I have an access Database of component parts and I have been asked if it is possible to have a preview box on a form where an image of the part is shown.

Does anyone know how to show an image based on a record key.

First, post Access questions in the Access forums - you'll get a bigger response.

Look at thread702-289543

I had to do the same thing and a friend sent me their db of diecast cars with pics. I was able to figure it out by looking at her db. If you want I can send you the db or I can relook at it and explain the process. I had to print manuals with board members data, including a picture, so I wanted to add the picture to the db so it would drop in where needed and it worked fine. Let me know if the first response dont help you and then I will follow up with another.
