Inserting Signatures 1

[tarena]

I'm using Access 97. I have employees signatures as jpegs and wanted to insert them into a form using a drop down list. Can I do this? If so, how?

Thank you

You will get very bad database bloat inserting picture into an Access 97 database. The usual method is to store a refernce to the image path which can then be used to display the image.

Ok Remou, that worked great, thank you but...can I now use this imageform to select and input a secific image into an already existing form that I have?

I am not quite sure what you mean, so I will say 'I think so'. Have a look at the Employees form in the Northwind sample database that ships with all versions of Access. It may help.
