You can set the PictureSizeMode property by using a form's or report's property sheet, a macro, or Visual Basic.

Remarks

When a small picture is used for the Picture property of a form or report, setting the PictureSizeMode property to Stretch or Zoom can cause substantial distortion of its resolution. Smaller pictures can be tiled across the entire form or report by using the PictureTiling property.
