How to tie picture in main for to record in sub form

try this:

Please review the sample carefully and try to adapt it to your situation.
If you have any questions, ...let me know.
Access-BasicLinkFormReportImages.mdb

thanks for the sample, but as far as I can see that is just a standard single form with an image.
I know how to do that already.

OK, sorry about that.

Then what, exactly, is it you are wanting to do?
This is unclear:
<I would like to to the current record selected in the sub form to
the picture embedded on the main form.>

...I see that the image also has a path, so I presumed the image was linked, ...not embedded...


Or simply post a clear graphical example of what you need, or want the form to look like.

Thanks

I would like to tie the current record selected in the sub form to
the picture embedded on the main form

Again, I am not understanding what "Tie to" means

Lets use basic terminology...
Is you goal here to have an image for each subform record.
Then when you select a record in the subform, you want that specific image to appear on the main form?
Yes or No?

wow. you are kidding. what do you think it means ?
come on ...think !!

There are literally half a dozen way this could have been interpreted, so I was just making sure...
As a Sr PC Computer Technician, I am sure you know the values of having a clear understanding of the issue...

So, ...insults aside, ("come on ...think !!")
...do you still want my help in resolving this?

not insults.., just direct questions.

big deal.
when a field is tied to another element, it means that when you select the record in the subform, that the picture is tied to that record and changes accordingly.
ie...the record in the subform says the vessel name:  destiny, so the picture on the main for would change to the picture of the vessel desiny.
If the record in the subform is pointing to the record of the vessel named: Odyssey, then the picture on the main form would change to the picture of the vessel Odyssey.
not insults.. just trying to get you to think outside of your own box.
something as PC techs, we , at least my team, has to do every day.
