View RepliesJust wondered what was everyones opinion on how I should best included a graphic file (just for the eye it has no functional purpose). At the moment i have just pasted it in but it increases the size from 1mb to 17mb.
Thank :cool: :) :cool:
I have read, mostly understood, and abandoned most of the KB and WWF suggestions on using images in forms. I am _this_ close to having it my way, but I can't seem to get there.
The paper form I am emulating has a medical diagram of the human body, and the interviewer circles, crosses, or otherwise marks a particular part (say head or foot) that the interviewee indicates is giving him/her pain. In order to do this on a form, I need to load a blank medical image into a field, and let the interviewer edit the image as they would on paper, by leaving cirlcles or X's.
One of the Northwind examples uses embedded images in an OLE field, and when I double-click the image is brought up in 'Paint', and I can edit. Close to what I want. I can also copy the employee photo from one record to a new record, and still edit. Closer yet. But when I try to put in a new image, I'm back to the icon-with-file-name, or 'package', or varous other ways of not seeing a picture.
Has anybody had success with this yet?
Thanks

Hello,
does anyone know if is possible to create some forms with different graphics like round edges etc.
Does Access allow this kind of utility or are we stuck to simple ones? THanks.
Hi,
I'm in a a lot of trouble. My graphics card has stopped functioning, leaving me with a perfectly good computer that I cannot use.
In order to retrieve the information from the harddisk, I got a cable between this computer and another one.
This is my plan:
When the "blind" computer is started, I will enter the cmd. From there I would like to be able to "share" one of my folders on the small network (ie the two computers). Is there a DOS command for this?
second question:
If I have VNC server installed, will I be able to see the desktop from another computer allthough I can't see it on the blind computer? Does that information go through the graphics card before it is sent over the internet, or after it has arrived in the VNC viewer computer?
Fuga.
I have a form that is bound to a table of chemicals. On the form I have a combobox that displays records from another table of chromatograms for each chemical. There may be none, one, or multiple chromatograms for each chemical.
On the form I also have a graphic to display the chromatogram (.jpg file).
I want to have the graphic of the chromatogram update upon the change of chemical on the form. At the present time, I have the graphic display from the after_update event of the combobox. This works fine.
Is this the best way to proceed, or should I use a subform for what I'm trying to do.
Any help wouuld be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Hey AP.uk
I've got Form with some drawings on it and I'd like it change depending on what the user has entered in certain fields on the same form.
For Example: when the user selects a certain type of item in the "Item1" field, I'd like the graphic to change (or another one appear) in the form. Basically an "If this is true, show this picture" type thing.
I've been trying a few things to make this happen, but to no avail... :(
Any incite anyone could give would be most appreciated.
Truly,

Does anyone try to play with graphics? I use a form with 3 tabs and tree forms ..in the second form (tab) I get some numbers from a customer and in the 3rd form I got a graphics with these two numbers but there not working ..i try to get these numbers from the form direct .. I get it but I can see only the numbers and not the graphic…
I try it with a query I get the numbers (Like CustomerId= forms!frm_customers!id or forms!frm_customers.id or what ever workd) I get the numbers but again when I try to see in my tab the form or the form only I can’t see the graphic//
Does enyone know what happen?
I am in the process of creating a 'how to' knowledge database using MS Access. I would like to create an input form that has a large field capable of entering both text and graphics.For example, the data inside Field1 would say...
How do I change the resolution of a monitor?
Step 1: Right click in the middle of the screen
<Display picture>
Step 2: Select Screen Resolution
<Display picture>
Step 3: Etc.
The total number of steps and pictures for each knowledge article would be different for each item. There could be 1 picture in the article, or there could be 50.
Sadly however, I don't see any field types that could support what I would like to do. So far I've only seen examples where the pictures and texts are separate and static. I'm open to using links to point to the pictures inside the text field to a remote folder. I'm even open to creating a report that takes all of the information on the input form and organizes it in a way so it looks like the example given above. Are there any scripts, controls, or template examples I could look at?
:confused: Could someone please help me. is it possible to add an animated microsoft GIF to an Access 2003 database splash screen. the picture works but the animation doesnt. If someone could please help i would be very grateful as it is needed for an assignment very soon. Thanks in anticipation.

Is there a way to include animated GIF files in an MS-Access form? I've used tons of static images on forms in the past, but never tried an animated image until now. Hopefully it's obvious and I am just having a mental moment!
Many thanks to all,
Scott
Is there a way using the OLE Object type to get an Animated Gif to appear on a form?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have learned how to create animated command buttons within a form. This works out great, but this brought on new ideas.
Currently, all I have is a stand alone picture (our logo) that is stored in the same directory as the db and to my knowledge this has nothing to do with access at all (other then it pulling the .bmp). I would like our Logo to be animated (simple rotating) during the Intro Splash screen.
Is this a possible task?

I 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
... anyone know how to insert these?
I'd like to put a couple of small animated gifs in one of my forms. Importing them as a picture doesn't give the animation (it's a static picture).
Any thoughts on a simple solution would be appreciated
Cheers
Ian
No? Yes? If, so how?

I want to develop an Ms Access Main Form, which will be able to :
Move automatically to the Left of the Database Window
On Mouse over to be able to show with animation (done that)
When Mouse pointer isn’t on the form to be able to hide with animation (partially done, only when the form loses focus)
Actually I want to have a form with buttons placed on the left of my desktop (hiding Ms Access Window – done that after Internet searching), which will be hidden and when I move my mouse pointer over the form to show.
Check my example. I’m waiting for your comments – suggestions
Best Regards
