Import picture from folder into a form without bounding

1 New Member
I have a folder that contains pictures I would like to see on a form when I open it. I don't want to bind the picture to the form or file because of space.

I can insert the picture in a command button using :
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Command27.Picture = "M:\Movie Trials\Movie Master 062611\bitmaps\borat.bmp"
Where the picture is located.

The name "borat" will vary for each file that I open.
How do I make that part of the command a variable?
I've tried several different approaches to no avail.
Can I get help?

Your question leaves out much important information so it's hard to explain to you in terms that make sense, but the following should give you an idea of what you can do. If you want more help then please update the question so we know what you need.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Const conFolder As String = _
  2.                   "M:\Movie Trials\Movie Master 062611\bitmaps\"
  3.  
  4. Private Sub cmdButton_Click()
  5.     Dim strFileName As String
  6.  
  7.     ' Some code here to determine what the filename is - For now we'll use Borat
  8.     strFileName = "borat.bmp"
  9.     Command27.Picture = conFolder & strFileName
  10. End Sub
