With the filename, including its path, saved in a field it's a little bit more complicated. Drag an image control from the Component Palette on to the form.  Size the control to suit.  If the control loses focus it will seem to disappear but if you click where it is suppose to be you will see it's outline. In the Inspector select the image control's canRender event and click the Spanner button.  This will create a skeleton event handler in the sourcecode editor. Place the following code in the event handler. function IMAGE1_canRender()        this.dataSource = "FILENAME "+form.your_query_name.rowset.fields['your_fieldname'].value        return true As easy as that. :-) Mervyn.
