I have the need to put a company logo on a form based on the company selected from a combobox on the form. I have a table which has one field for company name and another field containing the picture object. The form itself is bound to a different table where I want to company selected from the combobox to be recorded. I want to make the form capable of displaying the logo (bound ole object?) based on the company selected from the combobox.
I think I am close, but I do not know the proper method for doing this.
I would like to set up a picture in the form that changes based on a combobox selection, for example if you select from combo box list "design1", a picture that have a name : design1 will appear as a background to the form ..
Not sure if this is can be done: I have a picture and I want to change its color in accordance with values in another textBox. Is that possible? if Yes, then what would be the procedure and the codes?
I am using Access 2010 and have set up a contact database using the contact template. On each Contact I have put a picture of the person but if I attach an attachment to the contact sheet it then changes the picture to paper clip for the attachment and I wonder if there was a way of stopping this?
i have 3 tables: tblVolunteer, tblMedicalCondition, tblVolunteerMedicalCondition.
in tblVolunteer i have: volunteerID, volunteerName, HEALTHY (yes/no)
If a volunteer doesn't have a record in tblvolunteerMedicalCondition, i would like the HEALTHY field in tblVolunteer to default to 'yes', and if they do get a related record in tblVolunteerMedicalCondition, i would like the HEALTHY field in tblVolunteer to change to 'No' automatically.

The problem I'm having is I need to have the background of a field change color depending on what's contained within the field. There's only three possible entries in the field: active, inactive, and a blank entry. I need it to show green if the field contains "active", red if the field is "inactive" or is blank (I also want the blank fields to show inactive, but that's niether here or there right now.)
I've been trying to get it to work with an if then statement, and setoption to change the background. I've had no luck with any of it, though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have a form that I would like to update a picture on using VBA. The source of the picture path is in part a query that is not bound to the form. So far I have the following code that is pretty much working, but with a couple flaws.
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() LoadDefaultPicture End Sub Sub LoadDefaultPicture() Dim db As DAO.Database
[Code] ....
This is working. However, when I change the record the picture flashes the current picture once and then loads the new picture. It is like it reloads the current picture then loads the new one. I'm hoping there is a way to get rid of the flash.
Also, the code fails here: strDefaultPictureName = rs.Fields("AttachmentName")
When the query does not return a record. I can definitely fix this by adding an if statement to check for a record, but I'm kind of perplexed at why it is failing at that line. I would expect it to assign an empty string to that variable name and then fail on the next command where I try and set the ".Picture" property of the image.
Here, what I am trying to learn, that background of the form change its colour automatically after sometime let say 1 min or after 2 min
I find the link on the web where more than 500 colour code are available, but not sure, how I can use [URL] ....
I can put this command on form_load() Me.Detail.BackColor = ????????? but question is how i can bring other colour into loop
Plus, if the user want to do any work on the same form, will this loop also allow the user to do any work, I mean form should not be stuck up in the loop of changing a colour...
I have an Access database (.accdb) that has table, form and report. The field in all are the same. The user interacts with the Form only and enters data to it. Table is a back-end thing and no-one goes to it. However, in Form there is a button that when pressed, prints the report for that relevant form/record which we then give to customers.
Now, I have a field in report (like a signature field) that mentions the name of the user who printed that report. Lets say, Mr X did the data entry and then printed the report and gave it to the customer. After that customer loses the report and comes back for a copy of the report, but now Mr Y is at the desk and issues the report. Obviously Mr Y doesn't have to do the data entry again because record is there and Mr Y has the access to it, so he just presses the print report button and prints the report. What I would like is that the signature field should update itself if anyone else (in this case Mr Y) accesses the database and prints the report for that specific record.
I wasn't sure which section this belonged to (tables/forms/visual basic?) so I posted it here. Keep in mind I'm a database and VB novice so please bare with me.
I'm trying to create a database based on an Excel document. In the Excel document different entries selected from a dropdownlist will automatically generate content in other columns (for example cell C1 might be generated by "=A1+B1" in Excel).
I created a main table and linked it to other tables using the wizard (sorry, don't know the name for it in English), which allowed me to select values in the main table using a dropdownlist. See the attached picture. Then I created a form using the wizard. To be able to automatically change the value on one cell depending on the value of another I used this bit of code: Me!KlarTextboxName.Value = Me!DatumTextboxName.Value + 7 With the above example I could change the date in column "Klar" to seven days ahead of column "Datum", by setting this to be activated on the "Datum" update event.
But I have no idea how to change the value on one of the columns that are linked to another table! I tried using the same method, and changing the numerical value of the cell works (it will link to the numerical key value of the sub table) but that isn't very dynamic. If for some reason the key values of the sub table are changed then the script will link to the wrong entry.
I'm grateful for any help or advice you might have to offer me. If I'm not being clear enough on what the problem is please tell me so I can clarify. Thanks.

However, on the frmImage there is also an ImageControl that may or may not have a picture. The name of the path and filename is stored in a field in a table (not OLE).
I do not want the frmImage to open at all if no image can be found under the path and name specified. The file/picture name is exactly the same as the ProductID in the link criteria above. Perhaps a message to say that no image was found. At the moment the form opens up regardless.
By the way, the Me.Visible = False refers to the form that opens the frmImage form, so will have to become True if no image found.
I was unable to find a satisfactory answer to this problem in the forum plz answer asap: How can I add different pictures as background on different pages of a tabulated form such that each tab if clicked loads a new page with a different bkgrnd pic? i m able to do this for entire forms but not each tabulated page portion Please reply fast
I was wondering if anyone could let me know how to do the following:
I have a form with a subform in it. I based the subform on a combo box that gets its info from a table seperate from the form(This works fine) when an item is selected from the combo box it retrieves the correct subform accordingly. I need to know if it is possible if when a selection is made from the combo box it could select the correct picture from the tab folder i have on the form aswell as the correct subform. The picture of my form I have attached may explain better than i can.
I have a form that is part of an auction application, and displays a picture of an item when the record is retrieved (OnCurrent event). That works fine, but (presumably when the server is slow) I get a popup box informing me that it is "Importing Picture", often flashing too quickly to be read, let alone cancelled. How can I turn this warning off?
If this is a duplicate posting, my apologies - my machine's playing up.

Hi, I have finally managed to create a button wich add a photo with the code below, what I need now is to create a button DELETE wich will remove the photo I have loaded !
Private Sub cmdBrowse_Click() On Error GoTo err_cmdBrowse
Me![txtPicture] = GetOpenFile_CLT("C:Documents and SettingsMarcoDocumentiB MedCrew SchedulerPhotos", "Select the File") Me![txtPicture] = LCase(Me![txtPicture]) Me!Picture.Picture = Me!txtPicture
I've got a little problem when users move through records on a form that has an image embedded the source of which changes for each record linked using a filename field and path in the database. The pictures are served across the network from another computer. Some of them are relatively large and take a second or so to load.
The problem comes when a user tries to browse too quickly through the records, when the pictures are importing a box appears advising the user, if the user clicks through too fast the box sticks and remains visible in the foreground right in the middle of the screen, it even remains when Access is exited. You have to end the process in Windows Task Manager in order to get it to disappear. I'm using Office XP with service pack 3, does anyone know of a fix for this bug
or if there's no fix
is there a way I could maybe delay each record by about 1 second to allow a picture to load as the user browses through using the record selectors at the bottom of the form?
I am using MS XP Prof and MS Access 2003. I have built a database for my model car collection. I have tried to creat a form that I can insert a picture of each model per record( similar to the Employees form in the Northwind sample database. I have all the catagory fields and labels and character boxes working fine but I need to know what sort of catagory or box to enter in the design so that it will accept a picture from the files in Jasc Paint Shop Photo Album. I keep getting an "OLE server" error If I need to I do not know how to open and install the OLEserver or register it necessary. I'm totally frustrated. Thank you,
I've a form with an image on each page which is linked (not embedded) to filenames from another table. When moving through the forms the time it takes to import the picture is relatively slow, is there any method or hack I could use to speed this up?
Hi Good-Morning (its morning here in Jamaica) (Whatever time of day it is where ever it is that you great minds are in this beautiful world we live)...
I created a form and used an image control with a filepathfield that is stored in my table,... that works well as far as displaying the correct picture for each record...
I now want to create a Continuous Form with the correct image displayed for each row or eachrecord///
The problem is all of the images are displaying the same picture, but i want them to show their correct pictures... I used an on current event which i guess is why tha is happening cause all the pictures change when different record selectors are clicked...
Please advise how i could get around this... I looked at the Northwind database, but that database uses an OLE object, I would like to use the filePath field that i have in my database...
