I got it. On step 2 I forgot to name the control
"ImageFrame". Now it is showing the picture,
but only a portion of it. I will gues that I need to
resize the picture? Then I can try it out on my
actual database. Is there anything I should be
aware of?

In that Bound Object Frame's Properties, under the Format tab, set the
SizeMode to Zoom.

If you should tire of putting yourself at the mercy of whatever image
processing software the user has registered for the file type, the sample
imaging databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com illustrate three approaches
to handling images in Access, and the download includes an article
discussing considerations in choosing an approach. Two of the approaches do
not use OLE Objects and, thus, avoid the database bloat, and some other
problems, associated with images in OLE Objects.

If you are printing the images in reports, to avoid memory leakage, you
should also see MVP Stephen Lebans' http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm.
PrintFailure.zip is an Access97 MDB containing a report that fails during
the Access formatting process prior to being spooled to the Printer Driver.
This MDB also contains code showing how to convert the contents of the Image
control to a Bitmap file prior to printing. This helps alleviate the "Out of
Memory" error that can popup when printing image intensive reports.
