Question

I would like to know whether it is possible or not to display a conditional picture in a form. Example:

if X>0 then picture 1 is displayed else picture 2 is displayed

I have looked for it but I didn’t find anything

Thank you

Answer 1

If X > 0 Then
    Me.Picture = "c:\picture1.jpg"
Else
    Me.Picture = "c:\picture2.jpg"
End If

Or if the picture is not directly on the form, but in a image control:

If X > 0 Then
    Me.NameOfImageControl.Picture = "c:\picture1.jpg"
Else
    Me.NameOfImageControl.Picture = "c:\picture2.jpg"
End If

EDIT:

Okay, you can do this when you have the form open in design mode:

• there is a button in the toolbar to open the code window:
  
  (the screenshot is from Access 2003, I don’t know which version you’re using)

• you can run code on events in the form like when the form is opened or closed.
  Check out this tutorial (Page 10).
