link a combo box to a picture

  • Follow


Hello, I have a form that I enter information into 3 txt boxes and it gives 
me an answer in another text box then I click view and it brings up a rpt 
that gives me the list of 10 barcodes I need and directions on how to enter 
some info from the form and it shows me a picture of scanable barcodes. What 
I want to do is on the form when I select an entry from on of the combo boxes
(cboGuage) and when I 
click to get to the report it will show me the barcode related to the number 
selected from the cboGuage list. I have 10 numbers in the cboGuage list and 
10 barcodes that coraspond to these numbers. How would I go about doing this?

Can you explain in newbie terms since I am just starting in access...Or give
me some links or tutorials on how to do this. I have been trying to figure
this out for over a week. Thanks!

Are you using tables for the list of barcodes? If so, one way of doing it is 
to create a new field in the table that is the pictures path... like 
C://"Path"

Then you can set up a Picture frame where you want the picture to show. And 
on some sort of event such as a click event or a afterupdate event... you can 
change the Pictures, Picture source. That is just a start. I messed around 
with it for a while and got info until it finally worked and now pictures 
show up to the exact record they need too.
