Hello. ( First post)
I had scanned these forums, but i didn't see what I was looking for. I'm new to access, my intern ship short of threw me into it. eh' but that is not the point.
I have to build a circulation spreadsheet, and my bosses would like there to be pictures for each item. Any ideas on how I could do that? Thanks for your time.
I am using Access 2003 in a simple database and want to add digital pictures of each item in my database.
Before trying to enhance the database with pictures; the various fields are filled with either descriptive text or numbers. The size of the mdb database file is 464k.
I recently wanted to add a picture of each database entry. After adding a picture that is only 300k in size the mdb file increase to 18MD. Then after adding another picture also of 300k bytes my database grew to 25MB.
In the drop down menus Under Tools - Database Utilities - I ran the Compact & Repair Database. This did not reduce the size.
In the database Form I am using a Bound Object Frame to hold the picture and yes I am not linking the picture I am including it in the database. But, would only expect it to increase the database size by slightly more than the picture size.
I should also point out that the only way I have found to get the picture to be visible (not just an icon of the type of picture file) is to right click on the Bound Object Frame scroll down and choose Insert Object. Click on Create New and select Adobe Photoshop Image. This open adobe photoshop I make sure the picture properties are creating a picture of 300k.
So my question(s) is again. Why is my database increasing in size so rapidly? Is there a better to insert picture into a database?

Also how can I change the cell formats in Excel from Access? i.e. I have an export function in Access that exports a table into excel, however I want to change the format in Excel i.e. Make the Column headings bold.
Any ideas how I can do this using Access VBA
I have Access 2003 and have trying for some time to insert pictures. I have followed the instructions step by step as outlined in the BIBLE and nothing. I recently acquired a new computer and the problems still persists. Can anyone help.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI know its possible with the right code because I put animations into my VB assignment last year. I just need to know how to do those group things where several objects of the same type (like twelve picture frames) have the same name and are told apart by a number in brackets. eg. imgThewave(1).
Thanks

im trying to build a database that stores a large number of photos and would like some suggestions on how i can upload multiple photos (20+) at one time without uploading each one individualy, preferably through a form.
To outline the problem, each member of the team has a camera that they take to jobs, when they return i want them to be able to open a new form, enter the job number (the primary key) onto the form and then somehow drag and drop the pictures from the camera onto the form to upload them.
Is this possible through Access? is this the best way of uploading multiple photos easily? and how do i build this?
Thanks in advance

I am using access 2013 to make a PowerPoint presentation based on the data in a query. I know how to do that much using VBA but I am also trying to make a slide with a picture on it from a saved location.
Dim db As Database, rs As Recordset
Dim ppObj As PowerPoint.Application
Dim ppPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
On Error GoTo err_cmdOLEPowerPoint
[code]....
At the moment I am not worrying about adding the data as I know how to do this and had it working before - its just adding the picture to the slide.
Where I can get some better pictures for my access database. The standard ones are really not all that great. I am looking for a stock pile of pics that I can place in my files so that I can draw upon them whenever I am designing my database.
I just havent had much luck designing buttons in GIMP.
I am currently working on a project for work on re-creating our database for our daily audits. We enter daily information on a form which feeds to the table and in return we run the queries to get the percentages and all that good information. I was asked to be able to load a picture of to a particular record. Can I do that from the form and that link to the table and to the queries that run?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report that links to a picture. It displayed great in earlier versions of access, but when I switched to 2007, the pictures are displayed but they look like they are posterized. They print just fine. I use an image frame, zoom size mode and centered. They are fairly substantial jpegs (2 megs), but regardless, it is the change to Access 2007 that caused the problem.

I have a access DB for my employees with pictures. The main form displays their info and a picture as I scroll page to page. But I also have contact report that will show all info and picture. I am having difficulties linking the pictures from a seperate folder on my server.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have successfully used the recommended way to display images from a folder in a form as posted on the microsoft website.

These instructions were for Access 2000. I noticed that there are seperate instructions for doing this using Access 2003.:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285820/
My questions are:
1. If multiple users access this database using different versions of Access (2000 and 2003) will it not work for some?
2. do i have to modify code if i update to 2003?
Thanks for youir feedback!

How can i have something like this loop to run from ccess application which is already currently opn and where work is done ?
With objActiveWkb.Worksheets("Reconciliation Sheet")
For ii = 5 To 200
If Range(ii, 9) = "NO" Then
Range(ii + 1, 9).Interior.ColorIndex = "yellow"
End If

I have written a piece of code in Access that creates a Excel work book. The work book is populated with the various data and then made visible to the user.
Everything is working perfectly apart from one minor problem.
When creating a new workbook excel automatically puts 3 worksheets in... If the code creates 1 or 2 sheets of data I want it too delete the sheet that is blank. This is easy to do although it always prompts the user for confirmation.
How do I delete a worksheet without the prompt?
I have hunted everywhere for the answer and can't find it anywhere, any help would be great.
Example of code:
Dim XL As Excel.Application
Dim WkBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim WkSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set XL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set WkBook = XL.Workbooks.Add
Set WkSheet = WkBook.Worksheets(1)
WkSheet.Delete

Hey
I have access query opening in excel. After it opens i would like everywher where where is says "no", to make next 2 cells BLUE.
The code below is doing it, but it's taking few minutes.
is there any way to speed it up ?
'shading non-matching items
With objActiveWkb.Worksheets("Reconciliation Sheet").Range("b5:ak500")
Set c = .Find("No", , , xlWhole, , , True)
If Not c Is Nothing Then
sAddress = c.Address
Do
c.Offset(, -2).Resize(, 3).Interior.Pattern = xlSolid
c.Offset(, -2).Resize(, 3).Interior.ColorIndex = 33
Set c = .FindNext(c)
Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> sAddress
End If
End With
I have a button on a access database form that runs a query and exports the data to an excel sheet that remains open. I am ok with this. What I would like to do now is format the sheet and then save it as a file name that is the same as the query name but adding the date at the end. Here is what I have so far:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command1_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "Qry_SentForProcessing"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.RunSavedImportExport "Export-Qry_SentForProcessing"
[code]....
I just want to add the code to this button. Or do I need to write a function as a module, then call the function after the export is run.
What I am trying to do is populate the specific fields on excel sheet based on access query. so say I have 3 separate fields Name, Job, Salary on excel sheet (already designed excel sheet). and my access query has all 3 fields pulled up for all employees. Now if a person selects his "Name" on access form person should be able to see prepopulated excel sheet with his name, job and salary. I know I have to go recordset path.

I have been importing excel spreadsheets succesfully for a long time now and this new problem I have never seen before. I don't know how to deal with it. I have had a look on here but could find nothing similar, I have not really had a any luck searching google, mainly because I am at wits end to find a suitable search term.
Here's what's happening:
When i upload the sheet as is, it works fine, bar a "data conversion error" for one column which contains mainly numbers but a few cells of letters.
as before, I have inserted a line at the top of the spreadsheet (below the column headings), and put a 1 in for each numeric column and a letter for each alphanumeric and text based column.
Now when i import to access, I get no conversion error, but access has inlcuded about 20'000 blank lines between the headings and the actual data.
I really don't know what is going on.
How to open MS Excel from a MS Access database (plenty online really) but then select a worksheet and a row in the excel sheet (can't find anything)?
I also need to open MS Access from the Excel worksheet and I was hoping to use
Code : Set oApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
however it seems Access 2010 does not support this ...
I recently made a database that we will use to allocate appointments between a team of up to 30 in 2 different sites. I have tested it with 10 people in the same site using it and have had no issues so far.
One of our managers wants to know whether it is likely to cause issues with network usage/congestion. When we introduce it to the other site. I told her it is unlikely, but went to our IT department for their opinion. I got a reply simply stating that Access is not intended for this sort of task, and is only designed to have a couple of people using it at a time.
I'd like a second opinion, because I don't think that answer is even close to correct. I'll describe briefly how it works and what our set up is.
The database has 2 tables, one that stores the details of the clients we call (7 fields), and another that logs each contact attempt (6 field) and ensures no 2 users get the same entry. I have split the database, with the backend saved on one of our networked drives, and the frontend will be distributed in an email. (at present it is just an unsplit database stored on a network drive, but I don't think this will work well when 2 different sites are using it).
I think data throughput will be minimal, but I don't know how I'd go about checking that. Would you expect any issues with this being used by 30 people simultaneously?
I am trying to export certain values which are in combo box of MS Access to excel sheet. But what's happening is its populating ID of the field instead of Field Name.
