    how to add pictures to my database

    Ok I know how to add a picture to the background that is not what I am asking.

    What I want to know is can you add any kind of pictures or background details to text boxes, rectangles and other objects on the form to give the whole thing a new level of detail??

    Thanks

    A Bitmap or other style Graphic can be displayed on the following type Objects either by setting the Picture Property manually or Programatically :
    1. Command Button
    2. Form
    3. Image Control
    4. Page Object
    5. Report
    6. Toggle Button

      How Do i set bitmaps to these types of things. Is it in the properties of each command button..etc. because in the version i am using i dont see any option for that in the properties of each one. How would I do it programatically ??

        1. Manually
          1. Open the Form in Design Mode
          2. Select the Command Button
          3. Right Click ==> Properties
          4. Format Tab ==> Picture
          5. Click the ... Button
          6. Select from the Available Pictures or Click Browse
          7. Open/Ok when done
        2. Programmaticall y
          Code:
          Me![cmdButton].Picture = "C:\Stuff\Car.bmp"
        3. In the above case, the Graphic would not persist, to do so would be more complicated, but can be shown if need be

          Awsome :) Thank you so much for the help. I checked my version of Access at home and found where you can just add a picture very easily but for some reason the version I am using at work does not have that feature. I dont think they installed the whole thing. So far it seems very bare bones. I can't even use the input mask. :(
