You do not mention if this is a form or a report. If a form, place a 3D box and size it appropriately. Once located, right click on the 3D Box and click "Send to Back". Locate the image control inside the 3D box. I suggest setting it to stretch and proportional under image properties. Do not click transparent. Right click on the image and select "Bring to Front". Your 3D box should show regardless if the image is available or not.
If this is a report, place a SHAPE and select RECTANGLE in the option drop down. Size accordingly. Right click on the rectangle and select Send To Back. Place your image in the rectangle as above. Hope this meets the need. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael J.

I could create an image that has just a border in place of having a null image. But is there a way to use a panel or a group box behind the variable image so that there is a pale box when there is no image and a pale border showing around the image when there is an image present? I tried using a group box and clicking "transparent" but each time I try to put anything behind the variable image, it ends up on top of the variable image so I can't see the image even when it is there.
