introduction access training - Enter Picture

Dear Suze

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. (Use JPG's only and try to keep them small <500 Mgb)

To View the picture in the Form:

1. Create the form as normal (Using Wizard)

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
