I need to create a combo box that while it is browsed, for every option, it will display next the picture of the item that corresponds to the option from the drop down list, without need to select, just browsing the list.

I understand the event is On Change on the drop down combo box, but I have not been able to make it work.

I tried one table with all the info, for both the combo box and the display, and also two linked tables, and I can not have it ready yet.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Welcome to P2P!

I don't believe a combobox can hold OLE objects or pictures in its list. I think it's text only. Does anyone else know for sure?

This is the scenario: One table has the pictures with a name for each record, while another table holds the names of the pics, so they can be crossmatched by browsing the names from the combo box.

The display of the pics is done via another software that links to Access 2003 via an ActiveX control. That part is fine. It is the browse/display that does not work so far.

Let's even think about text instead of pictures to be displayed, and if I can work out that part, I'll manage to get the pics displayed
