How to display an image in a form that changes when the form changes?

[David Daikeler]

I have a table with items in it. I'd like the user to scan a bar code, have a form appear listing some of the information from this table and a picture of the item. This will stay static for 30 seconds and then close the form awaiting the next UPC scan. Or the user can close it but I want both. I can easily put the path the .jpg in the table of items but can't get the form to display the proper picture. I'm using Access97 (I know its old).

Help! Glad to pay for code or the answer.

In my opinion I would place an image or an image control on the form. Then using the forms on current event in vba to update the image controls source/path with that of the path to the image from your table.
