Thanks!

That was too simple. I took the Report Picture dialog prompt for "File" to literally especially when you click the (...) to find a file I assumed it would only take an actual file. Where is this documented?

I tested it out and used an IIF statement to make sure what ever file name that was in the field existed otherwise use a dummy picture file (file name in quotes) and it works fine.

Eliminates bulky FPT file and eliminates picture load time.

Thanks again!
