Art-
Not sure why Bill recommended you continue to store a link to the image in the database in an OLEObject. As of Access 2007, all you need is a Text field to store the full path. Use an Image control on forms and reports and set the Control Source of the Image control to the text field. Access will load the image for you for each record. You still need a bit of code to invoke the file dialog when the user wants to locate and save a new image.
Note that if this is a shared network app, the path must use an UNC path, not a drive letter. You can help ensure that happens by setting the starting .Directory to the network path and folder, sort of like:
.Directory = "\\OurShare\Photos\"

I stepped through it and drops right to the Else statement. I Changed the name of the control from imgPhoto to imgPDF.

I have made the changes but for some reason it is not saving the path so I have to locate the PDF file each time I open the record.

Art - replace the image control with an OLEBound control. Keep the same name so you have less work to do.
Change this line where ever it exists:
Me.imgMember.Picture = strPath
to this:
Me.OLEBound1.SourceDoc = strPath
Me.OLEBound1.Action = acOLECreateLink
Also, if you are using a common dialog to get the path, change the filter/extension to PDF
With New ComDlg
' Don't allow multiple files
.AllowMultiSelect = False
' Set the title of the dialog
.DialogTitle = "Locate Member picture File"
' Set the default directory
.Directory = CurrentProject.Path & "\Pictures\"
' .. and file extension
.Extension = "pdf"
' .. but show all PDF files just in case
.Filter = "PDF Files (.pdf)|*.pdf"
' Tell the common dialog that the file and path must exist
.ExistFlags = FileMustExist + PathMustExist
If .ShowOpen Then
strPath = .FileName
Else
Exit Sub
End If

Bill,
I am sorry but I don't even know where to begin with that. I have attached a screen shot of what it looks like right now. Like this is based off images and not PDF files.
