Make reference qry record source of form

Any advice appreciated. Beacon - took note of your comments, trying a diff approach!

Having problems getting image to load in an unbound object frame (imageFrame1), based on selction made in combo box.

Tried this code in Combo afterUpdate event:

Private Sub cboBridgeID_AfterUpdate()

Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String

' Find the record that matches the control.
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "[BridgeID] = " & Me![cboBridgeID]
Me.Bookmark = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark

Set db = CurrentDb
' have access load and run the qry
strSQL = "Select * from qryBridgePhotos where qry.ID=" & Me!cboBridgeID & ";"

Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
If rs.BOF And rs.EOF Then ' nothing to do
Else
'On Error Resume Next
Me![ImageFrame1].Picture = rs.Fields("9798_pht1")
End If

End Sub

Get type mismatch error(13). Look forward to your comments.
Nb it falls over at set db = Currentdb (= nothing) - why??
BridgeID is numeric.

Does this run the first time, but fail after that?
I notice that you never kill the db or rs variables. Try :

Code:

---

    Me![ImageFrame1].Picture = rs.Fields("9798_pht1")
End If

If Not (rs is nothing) Then
    rs.close
    Set rs = nothing
End If

If Not (db is nothing) Then
    Set db = nothing
End If
End Sub

---

You are using a combo list right ?

So why not return the picture path/name in that combo box but make the column width 0...

Then after update, just grab the info from the column :
imgPiccy.picture=cboList.column(1)

Assuming MS Access there, but the principle should be the same for VB. I think the Vb would be using an array hidden on the form or something and the same extra column can be applied.
