Hi Gasman, welcome to Eileen's Lounge!
What do you mean by "One cannot post actual links here"?

Thank you.
Well, when I went and made a post about a cross poster, the site said I could not use links to other sites?
So in this thread, I just posted the url as text, and the site converted it into a link?

Re: pictures not displaying on form instead show icon only
So the problem is not caused by the database itself. Do the desktop and laptop have different versions of Windows?
(In general, I avoid storing images in a database. I store them in the same folder as the database, create a text field to store the file names of the image files, and set the Control Source of the Image control to the name of the text field)
