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.
