Adding Images to MS Access (2003) database | Access forum

Hi,

I'm still in the process of creating a database detailing all our current products and have come to a standstill with regards to adding images. I've read back through previous questions to get some assistance with this, and i think i've followed the directions given but every time i add a picture it shows the word 'package' in the table datasheet view and only shows an icon with the file name on the form. Here's what i did...

In my table, I created an OLE Object field.
I then went to the datasheet view in my table and clicked 'Insert Object', and chose 'create from file', making sure the image was in bitmap format.
I've then opened the form with the corresponding field but it still just shows an icon and the file name, not the picture.

With there being several products in the database, i need to add a corresponding image to each record so once i've got one right i'll be able to fly through the rest. I know that the solution is probably easy but i can't seem to get past it!!! Any help would be massively appreciated as i've got to have this finished by Monday next week to present to the business on Tuesday and this is pretty much the only thing i've got left to do to get it done!

Thanks in advance for your help

Craig :)
