Help: OLE Linked Picture on Drop-Down List
I'm completely stuck with the following problem & MS helpline didn't know
either. Can you help?
I want to set up a form with a drop down list - say a list of names of
employees, which when selected by name (eg. employees name is entered into
the field), a linked picture is also entered somewhere else into a new
field on the form.
Thus for each record (eg. item sold) one would see the name of the employee
and the picture. I don't want to enter a new picture into each record
(sale) because for database would soon be huge. Access '97 seems to handle
linked data but not linked pictures.
Anyone any ideas on this?
Thanks.
