Link to graphic

What is the best way to link to a graphic within access. assuming the graphics are held in a folder outside of access/the database.

For upcoming training course dates see: Pricing & availability

RE: link to graphic

Hi Mark. I presume you are trying to insert a graphic on a form using the control toolbox? Safest thing to do is bundle the database and the graphic (wmf) in the same directory thereby minimising the potential for a severed link. Failing that, just keep the location of the graphic constant, otherwise the link will break.

Hope this helps,

Anthony
