Is there anyway to set differentbutton images for each section of a switch board.
Say I have a main switch board with "Customers", "Orders" and "Products". I want each one of these buttons to have an image.
However, when you click on "Customers" you go to the customers swicthboard, which then has "add", "delete" and "edit". I would like these three buttons to have images, but different images to those on the main form.
is it possible to create a back button on your switchboard so from your main switchboard your subwitchboards or your sub sub switchboards you just click the back button to go the the previous switchboard?
I have created a database where my boss wants a password on the one button to limit access. Is this possible. The button actually opens the Database Window (no one else knows the bypass to open it F11)
hello, I have a main switchboard that has a button which opens another switchboard, the button is labelled (has the caption) “Reports” but the trouble is when this other switchboard opens the button on here also has the name “reports” but I want it to be named: “open employee report” and if I change the name of the button on the other switchboard it changes it on both switchboards :mad: , anyone know of a way around this?
Hi! Everyone on this forum has been very helpful so far, and I could really use some expertise now. I'm trying to update an existing DB designed by someone else (no longer here). I need to add a button to the switchboard for 2006, but I don't understand the code that has been written for the form I am trying to update. I've posted the code below. If anyone can help me decipher it enough to add my button, I would really appreciate it. My new button should be the 9th one. Thanks in advance:

I found this simple password code that I use to open some forms: Code:Dim x As Stringx = "password"Dim y As Stringy = InputBox("Enter password for form")If x <> y ThenMsgBox ("Invalid password")DoCmd.CancelEventEnd If I would like to use it in a switchboard button, but the following statement is OnClick already "=HandleButtonClick(4)". How can I incorporate this statement with the code?
(I guess I don't really understanding how the auto-switchboard works.)
Is it possible to create a command button on an Access switchboard that will automatically backup a database? What code would I need? The command button wizard doesn't handle this task.
I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
I have the original database with the name of "Cell MFG Screen" that contains a switchboard. I am now creating a db to keep track of manufacturing waste (which will also be on the same server when completed). That switchboard is called "Cell Waste Weight". Again, I want to keep these db's separated from one another as well being able to add future dbs. Now, what my plan is to make up a one db that consists of only a switchboard that will be used as the main switchboard to be able to navigate to other dbs that are located on the server.
I have a table that is linked to SQL server In this table I have a field that has thepath to an image C:TempImagexxx.pdf What I want to do is have a dropdown that the user can select a Notice Number and then have its image pop up in the form.
I have a Notice Number field and a Path field.
Do I create a Query to query the two fields. Create a Drop Down box and assign the query to the drop down box.
But then how do I get the image to popup...and in what and unbound object frame?
Database is the MS Contacts Template with minor adjustments.
1. Trying to insert a link to an image using a bound OLE object in my form. Now I've got it top work. However, the link appears normal size in the centre of the object box. Problem is when I resize the oject box so that llink text just fits fine. The text resizes with the box and you need a microscope to read it.
2. I want to be able to cerate merged letter but I cant select Tools>Merge it with MS word fro some reason (i've aslo tried with with DB's we use in work with same problem) but publish with Word is available.:confused:
I am by no means an expert with Access so please, please post replies in lamens terms.
I did a cursory search of the forum and didn't find anything (probably more my search than the content). I also think I know the answer to this, but I want to clear it up once and for all.
Is it true that I cannot insert an image into an Access Table in a way that it treats the image like data (e.g., it comes up on reports as entered).
If so, and I suspect it is so, what would be the best way to associate a row with a certain image in Access? Here's what I'm hoping to do: I have a list of projects and all of them have a status. Right now the "status" column includes the text "Green," "Yellow," or "Red." I would rather have this text display as green, yellow, or red color rather than text. Is this possible?
I got a questions and maybe you prof. can help me out
I got a table with all employees in it
Example
John Doil Mina Lizo Sholly Nopi
etc.
Its has 250 records.
I also got all the pictues of them But the pictures have the following name
John_Doil_.jpg Mina_Lizo_.jpg Sholly_Nopi_.jpg
Also i still have pictues from ex employees.
I have all the filepaths of the jpg in a table.
Is there a way to link the 2 tables based on first name Or make a extra cell and in a query take the names for the _ that takes out and put it in that cell.
Sorry for my bad english if you got question plz ask
Before you ask, yes I did search, but no it didn't help...
OK, database is storing members, so each member record needs to have a picture of them. I've made a field in the members table for the path of the image. I've followed the example here - http://www.utteraccess.com/candace/candace/picture/picture.zip , but I keep getting the error 'You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus.' When I've tried to set the focus to it I get the error '# can't move the focus to the control MemberImage.'
I have a DB that has a table called tblproductList. In the table i have a field called Image. I have made this field a Text Field. I have entered product details and have entered ghd.jpg in the Image field. this reflects the image i have stored in the same directory as the DB. I have a form and i want to call the image into the form. How is this done?
I have created a report in access 2000. What I wish to do is insert a signature on this report and as I scroll through the report, the signatures change. The fields on the report are name, major and dean.
The signatures reside on the "c" drive on the computer. This report is based on a query. I wish to link the signatures to a specific field(dean) so as I scroll through the report the signatures changes with the report.
I have searched the forums for a solution, but I am having difficulty.
Is it possible to efficiently store images in an Access database without having to install custom COM files and the like on your server?
I know it's possible to store them using OLE objects but I've heard this adds a significant amount of data to the image when storing. Is this correct?
Does anyone know how I could get around this? I'm interfacing the DB via the web, unfortunately I have to use an access DB for the task and can't tinker with the server.
I've embedded images in my table, OLE embedded.When i create a report i can add a bound frame but when i preview the report all i get is the generic image icon (its a jpg), the filename and the words (command line).
Hello, I am trying to add a normal JPEG image to an Access 2003 form through the "Image" control. The problem is that when I browse for images , it does not show any JPEG images, but only BMP and images of other 3-4 formats - The JPEG format doesn't exist there. When I try to add a JPEG through "all-files" it gives me an error message - "does not support this format". There is not problem viewing JPEG images on WinWord or other programs.
Has anyone heard of such a problem and its solution?
I am a total novice with MS Access (2002) and coding so I am trying to learn by adapting the Northwind sample.
So far, one thing has completely stumped me and that is controlling images. I understand the benefits/pitfalls of storing images in the database and have concluded that it will suit me better to link my images via a text field.
What I am trying to do is add multiple images to the Northwind Employee Form. I have followed the help file and I can get additional images to display on the form, but I can not get the additional images to change for each record. The MS Access help only covers having a single image per record. I've concluded (right or wrong) that the Event Procedure is where I need to be experimenting, but I've had no luck so far.
Can anyone tell me if I can modify the Event Procedure in the Northwinds Employee sample to cope with multiple images, or is there another way?
Excuse me if any of my terminology is wrong... I really am new to this.
How would you tie tiff images to an access database. for example. if I have a tiff image of an invoice, i would want the customer to be able to search for an invoice using information about the image, like invoice #, cutomer #, purchase price, etc.
