You can have Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 automatically create the data source when you insert the picture controls (as well as other controls) onto your form. If you do this, InfoPath creates a field in the data source that is bound to the picture control.

1. In design mode, place the insertion point where you want to insert the picture control.
2. If the Controls task pane is not visible, click More Controls on the Insert menu.
3. In the Controls task pane, select the Automatically create data source check box.

   Note  If the check box is unavailable, the form's design does not allow the data source to be automatically created. You must insert a picture control that is bound to an existing field or to a field that you create.

4. Under Insert controls, click Picture.
5. In the Insert Picture Control dialog box, select the options that you want.
6. By default, a picture control with placeholder text is inserted onto the form. Depending on your needs, you can use a default picture instead.

   How?

   1. Right-click the picture control, and then click Picture Properties on the shortcut menu.
   2. Under Binding on the Data tab, click Specify default picture, and then click Browse.
   3. In the Insert Picture dialog box, click the picture that you want.

1. In design mode, place the insertion point where you want to insert the picture control.

   Note  If you are binding the picture control to a repeating field, the control must be inside a repeating control, such as a repeating table or repeating section.

2. If the Data Source task pane is not visible, click Data Source on the View menu.
3. In the Data Source task pane, right-click the field that you want to bind the picture control to, and then click Picture on the shortcut menu.

   If Picture is not listed on the shortcut menu, click More. If you still do not see Picture, make sure that the data type for the field is Picture or File Attachment (base64), Hyperlink (anyURI), or Text (string). You can verify this by clicking Properties on the shortcut menu.
