What kind of control do you use?

My first port of call is always some sort of search?

Hi Gasman, welcome to Eileen's Lounge!

Thank you.

Well, when I went and made a post about a cross poster, the site said I could not use links to other sites?
So in this thread, I just posted the url as text, and the site converted it into a link?

@Gasman: Should be OK now.

@siamandm: I meant: what type of control do you use on the form?

im using image control.

another thing I like to mention, it displays pictures fine on a laptop, but when I use the database on a desktop I get this issue.

So the problem is not caused by the database itself. Do the desktop and laptop have different versions of Windows?

(In general, I avoid storing images in a database. I store them in the same folder as the database, create a text field to store the file names of the image files, and set the Control Source of the Image control to the name of the text field)

thank you very much for the reply,
I will try saving the photos inside a folder.
