Add a bound object frame on a form or report

Add a bound object frame on a form or report

  1. If you haven't already done so, create a field in a table, and set the field's data type to OLE Object in a Microsoft Access database (.mdb), or to image in a Microsoft Access project (.adp).

    How?

  2. Create a form or report (or open an existing form or report) that includes the OLE Object field or image column in its record source.

  3. In form or report Design view, click Field List on the toolbar to display the field list.

  4. Drag the OLE Object field or image column from the field list to the form or report.

    Microsoft Access creates a bound object frame that's bound to the OLE Object field or image column.

Note   If you've already created the bound object frame, you can bind it to a field in an underlying record source by setting the ControlSource property for the bound object frame to the name of the field.
