The files are jpg extension The directory the pics are stored in is static So, in my form, I want to display a picture of the customer, using the customer number as the picture id. So, customer 123 will have picture 123.jpg in the picture directory What control is best used to do this and what method is best for dynamically picking up the "correct" picture. I suppose this technique could apply to part number = part picture as well, so seems like someone has done this already. Thanks...eric    Report
