Opening a jpg file. Code from Lebans

[Alfred]

I use access 2002 with windows XP. I don't think that I encountered the same
problem with Windows 2000

The following opens an image (code from Lebans)
fLoadPicture Me.JGSForm.Form.Image1, "e:\pictures\test.jpg"
if I specify the path and file name as above then the picture opens

My problem: If I specify it as follows
fLoadPicture Me.JGSForm.Form.Image1, IPath & Me!StCode & ".jpg"
then the picture opens but windows explorer also opens automatically and I
have to close windows explore first

the exact same happens if I use
MyImage = IPath & Me!StCode & ".jpg"
Application.FollowHyperlink MyImage, , True
If I use "c\pictures\test.jpg" instead of MyIimage then again windows
explorer opens to c:\pictures\test.jpg

Try running this code with a Debug.Print of the generated path and filename
just before the LoadPicture, with a breakpoint on the Load Picture
statement. My guess would be that there is something gone awry with your
building the string for path and filename.
