I am trying to insert a photograph in a form. I have set up the field in my table which is
referenced as "Image(longvariablebinary)" but when I go to design the form that field
does not appear. The same thing happens with a sample table containing a photo. In my table the
record field shows<object>.
Please assist

Hello Mat,
The forum wizard will not insert image controls, and images are not
available in grid controls.
To add the image control to a form then you do the following:
( I'm assuming here that you have a form created by the form wizard
already )
Open the form in edit mode ( design mode ).
Make sure the tool bar 'Form Design' is visible.
On the Form Design' tool bar click the button 'Add field'
A floating window opens - if it is empty that's fine.
Select any of the controls on the form
The 'Add Field' window now fills with the names of all the fields in
the result set ( table or query ) the control you selected is associated
with.
You should see the name of your image field on the lsit.
Now just use the mouse to drag and drop the field name from the 'Add
field' window to where you want it on the form.
Both an image control and associated label ( set to the field name ) are
added to the form.
At run time to actually put an image into your database right click on
the image control on the form, a popup menu will open allowing you
browse to an image file - or copy paste an image into the form.
