Hello,
I am using Access 2013 and I have a database with tens of thousands of records. Rather than embed image files into my Access database (which would make it very large), I have Ftp'd a lot of image files out to an internet domain. How can I display those images on a form?
On my form, I have a text box that contains the URL (e.g., http://www.abc.com/images/BB00001.jpg) to each image.
What control can I use to download/display that image on my form (using the URL data in the text box)?
The only thing I could find that looks promising is an ActiveX Control called "Microsoft Web Browser", but I don't know how to use it or know if this is the right object. If it is, what code would I need to use and where exactly would I need to put that code?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your expertise!
