Re: [MS_AccessPros] Work with images with Access using a SQL Server backend.

Get rid of this code:

' See if the photo is in a subpath of this project
            If Left(strPath, Len(CurrentProject.Path)) = CurrentProject.Path Then
                ' Strip it off and store a relative path
                strPath = Mid(strPath, Len(CurrentProject.Path) + 2)
            End If

How can I make the adjustment to the code to make sure I get the full path? Path right now would be C:\Work\Unit\Images\Unit 3\Exterior.jpg.
This will change when I move it into production. The path would then be \\CRHANAS\Unit-Info\Unit\EB001
Although EB0001 will change given what ever unit they are looking at. We have a folder per unit.
This is the code for the Add button:

This is straight out of the LoadPictureSample.
