Actually what Manny means is that the last letter of a word will just drop off. So the sentence…

The dog jumped

Prints out

The dog jumpe

It doesn’t just happen at the margins, but in the middle of the page

Gary,

Well my teacher’s suggestion was what Ian mentioned. Moving the sections by dragging them in Outline view. This does make more sense and is an easy way to do it compared to the clumsy method of cutting & pasting…

Of course.. I thought he had some magical way to do

Hmmm… In a class I am taking my teacher alluded that there was a quicker & easier way than cut & paste.

I was trying to be tricky and figure it out, but looks like I’ll have to bite the bullet & ask him

I found my answer from a user in the Tek-Tips forum..

Here is what I did..

In the oncurrent event on the form I added the following code:

If Not IsNull(Me!Pict1Path) Then
Me!Pict1.Visible = True
Me!Pict1.Picture = Me!Pict1Path
Else: Me!Pict1.Visible = False
End If
If Not IsNull(Me!Pict2Path) Then
Me!Pict2.Visible = True
Me!Pict2.Picture = Me!Pict2Path
Else: Me!Pict2.Visible = False
End If
If Not IsNull(Me!Pict3Path) Then
Me!Pict3.Visible = True
Me!Pict3.Picture = Me!Pict3Path
Else: Me!Pict3.Visible = False
End If

I have 3 pictures on each form & report & this seems to be working quite well!

Hi Jim..

After I posted this I found all the documentation you are referring to

Now I have found instructions on how to store the path in the table and having an image control on the report & forms, but am having problems implementing this.

I have a table with UnitNum, (other irrelevant data), Pic1Path, Pic2Path, Pic3Path

Now if I understand correctly I store the path in the Pic1Path, etc.

Then I create an unbound image control on my form. Here is where I am having difficulties..

Any help?

Oh my god..

I have been struggling with this one for months I feel so embarassed..

Thank you so much for your speedy answer..
