Hi Tony

I repeated what we did in the training on my PC and it gave me no problems. Use JPG pictures for this. I used photos I had taken with my digital camera. Try to keep the picture size down. (GIF and BMP don't work too well)

So to add a picture to a database use the following steps:

1. In the design view add a field named Picture with an OLE Object type.

2. In the Datasheet view Select the Picture cell and insert Object

3. I the Object dialog box, Select Create from file, Browse for the required picture and click OK.

To View the picture in the Form:

1. Create the form as normal

2. In design view right click the picture box and select Properties

3. In the Size Mode line Select Zoom (This ensures the picture resizes to the frame you created for it)

Hope this helps

Carlos

Access tip:

Switchboard Startup

An option when you open your Access database that contains all of you tables, forms and queries is only the switchboard is displayed.

To achieve this, select Tools click on Startup. On the right hand side of the Startup screen you are able to select which form you want to open when you open you Access Database. Once you have selected this, there is a check box just below that says "Display Database Window", you need to uncheck this option. Then click ok.

Then when you close you Access database and re open it, the database should open with just the switchboard being shown
