I want to display the linked image in form view. 'ole object' has the property 'display type' as content or icon. but both settings shows only the icon and file name. 'attachment' field does show image in form view but attaching images (jpeg or png) will increase database size.
what is the solution?
I am using an unbound object frame to display an .png image file which is set in vba.
The image is an excel chart saved as a .png
The problem I have however is that the image I save from Excel is great quality, and is pretty tack sharp, but when I display the same file in the unbound object frame in access, it is not nearly as sharp.
I am setting the picture property of the control as:
ubImageUserChart = "c: empmyChart.png"
It displays alright, but is just a bit fuzzy - still quite legible, but it is a complex graph with a lot going on - has regressions and formulas etc on the graph, and they need to be very clear.
BTW - the unbound frame is the same size as the Excel chart which gets saved as a .png file. If I tile the images (Access unbound frame and original file in picassa preview) side by side - they are identical - size, orientation etc.
It is not practical for me to try and do the chart natively in access as it is way to complex. I am using access vba to drive an excel session to do all the statistical yack work and chart rendering, then displaying a png image of the resulting chart in an unbound object frame in access.
I have a Form which I have linked correctly to a subform. The Text boxes are showing in the Design view but are not when one switches to the Form View. Labels for Fields are visible in the Form View. Have even created a new subform and that will also not display the Text Boxes.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form that I call the AdminForm. It allows the user to store administrative information about the business; business name, address, telephone number, etc. I also have as a part of the table that stores this information an Attachment Field where an image of their logo is stored in a field called, [Logo]. No problem here. The issue is that I want to use the [Logo] field elsewhere like in reports.
I've added an Attachment type control to the report and I've used DLookUp to use the image stored in the admin table, but it doesn't display on the report. There isn't any relationship between the admin table and any report so I can't join them unless I do something "unnatural" by adding a fictitious field to every record to tie it back to the key field in the admin table, (there is never more than one record in the admin table; I ensure that). That doesn't seem like the right way to accomplish this.
lets say i have a data field which contains hyperlink for a html file, can i display the content of the file from the hyperlink in the form when the form is loaded?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know that Access can display images, I have seen it done. I am using Access 2013. I am trying to display a photo in a form field. In the underlying table I have tried using attachment and OLE Object data types and I couldn't get the picture to display with either.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have some images stored in a SQL Table which is linked into Access. These images have to be stored in the database as I also reference them on other platforms (Android, Web etc).
In my Access programme I need to display a continuous form / report showing each image. Now, good old Access cannot display multiple images stored in the database on a continuous form. It can only do this if it is referencing the path to the image.
When the user views the form they will only see about 12 images at a time. I thought of a workaround which is to write the database images back to file to a local temp directory when the user loads the form. The user would be happy to wait for say 10 to 15 seconds whilst the form loads.
However, I cannot find an efficient algorithm to write the images back to a file. The one I am using is a BinarytoString algorithm by motobit which is fine for very small images, but anything over 100kb (which is still pretty small) it goes sooooo slow.
How to quickly write an image stored as a long binary in an Access DB back to a file? Or do I need to crack open my Visual Studio and write some C# DLL to use instead...?
I have created a database to track our contacts for the office. I spent some time working on the relationships and making sure everything was normalized, as I've only just recently understood that concept. However, I'm afraid something got messed up in the process and I may have missed a step or done something wrong when creating the relationships.
Basically, I just created the form with all of my fields in it and when I try to view the form I see that no fields display (it's just a blank white screen). I wondered if I should actually be creating the form based off tblcontact, and then add subforms for each of the other tables.
See my attached database for further reference ...
My forms work well, but in form view are widely separated from the user tool bar. That is, the form is in the upper top left corner of the screen and the tool bar for choosing records is in the left hand corner at the bottom of the screen. I cannot get the tool bar in a position near the bottom of the form where it would be easier to work with.

Okay, my boss gave me this killer project and I just have a brief question to see if anyone thinks I can do this.
Right now, I have a database for business card management.
I have 2 tables
1)Contact Info - Has various contact info fields
2)Business Card Table - Have 2 fields, CardID and Card (field is OLE object to attach business card to the database.
I have the CardID field in a relationship with the same field in Contact Info.
I have 2 questions:
1) I am using Access 2000, and would like to know if there is a way to allow the OLE field to be a jpg attachable field. I did not see it as an option, only .bmp Cry
2) Is there a way, that when I pull the information up in a form, it can display the attached business card that is attached to the database?
What can I do?
Thanks for any help in advance.

I am using the example database to avoid storing pictures in my database, as the size could grow and make the backend slow down.
The only thing with it is, the image quality isnt that great. Is there a way to sharpen it up?
My database contains an embedded thumbnail image, one per record, and I would like to be able to click something on the form of that record to open the full-size image in a picture-viewer of my choosing.
Can someone give me some direction?
Thanks!
How can I enable a user to click a thumbnail image or other object on a form that will open the bigger orginal image file in a separate browser window (or other photo viewer)?
Thanks,

Hello. I've searched and read a few threads concerning image controls on forms and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem (yet). Anyway, I have a form with two image controls (imgOK1 & imgOK2). The previous and current setting of the "Picture" property for both images is set to "C:MOMGraphicsfilename.bmp". The location of my images has changed and will change for each user which is "C:Documents and Settingsuser.nameMOMGraphicsfilename.bmp". I'm using the following code to set the .Picture property on form load:
Dim ImgPath
ImgPath = "C:Documents and Settings" & Environ("username") & "My DocumentsMOMGraphics"
Me.imgOK1.Picture = ImgPath & "imgButton-OK1_25%.bmp"
Me.imgOK2.Picture = ImgPath & "imgButton-OK2_25%.bmp"
When the form is opened, an error stating that the image located at "C:MOMGraphicsfilename.bmp" cannot be found; once for each image control. Then the form loads and .Picture properties appear to be set correctly as they are displayed fine. I've tried to clear the .Picture properties for both image controls using the properties editor but the original path returns as soon as the property loses focus. Is there a way to programatically set this property and make it stick so the errors are not displayed?
I have developed a form which contains a subform. The subform contains a bound image for display. Think of a 'department' form with 'employee' records on the subform containing an employee photo. (Very standard stuff.) It used to work correctly but I must have inadvertantly changed something but cant find it.
The problem is that the photos don't display at all as I move through the department records - using the main form's navigation. I need to use the subform navigation to show any of the photos. When I get a photo to show for a particular department then I can navigate through all the employees in that department and their photos display correctly. (If I run the subform separately then the photos display correctly too.)
Any ideas?
The properties which seem to be relevant are
Bound Object Frame:
Display Type = Content
Update Options = Automatic
OLETypeAllowed = Embedded
Enabled = Yes
Locked = Yes
AutoActivate = Manual
Subform:
Enabled = Yes
Locked = No

Hi guys,
I'm in desperate need of help and want to know if it is possible to load an image on a form once a hyper link is created.
For example, I have a form with a hyper link to an image created, currently, when you click on the hyperlink, it opens the picture in the browser, can you change it so that it loads teh image embedded into the form instead of loading it into a browser?
If so, how?
Thanks
I want to make a form or report that acts similar to a "bookshelf" view showing around 4 or so images in each row. When an image is clicked on it takes you to that record. I know a report can be used to make rows but how do I get the images to display? They are stored in a folder and not actually embedded into the database. I have a VB code that displays the image on my forms but this doesn't work when it's a continuous form or report. It shows the same image until I click on that record then the image changes.
View 14 Replies View Related I have two tables, tblAdmin (which contains my attachment field, a logo) and tblRecords (which contains customer records.I created a form (frmMain) that displays customer records, and hooked frmMain to qrySelectCustomer, which is a query that... you guessed it!... selects a particular customer to view. I wanted the logo to appear at the top of this form, but it's in a separate table. I need to allow the database owner to go in and swap out one logo for another whenever he wants (if the business changes or whatever) and all my subsequent forms/reports have to pull this logo.
I can't use any kind of DLookUp for the image/attachment, because DLookUp only fetches text not images, so what I did was create a subform called frmLogo and hooked the subform to tblAdmin where the attachment resides. It works perfectly when I just open the frmLogo, the image displays as it should. But when I open frmMain, I get a parameter value prompt because it can't find the image! Even though the subform frmLogo that's on frmMain is hooked to the correct frmAdmin table!
I tried several things, but the only thing that solved the problem was to ALSO hook frmMain to tblAdmin, which I do NOT want to do, because then I have to create a THIRD form for the customer data and hook THAT to qrySelectCustomer!

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a module like this:
Code:
Public Function DisplayImage(ctlBrowserControl As Control, _
strImagePath As Variant)
On Error GoTo Err_DisplayImage
Dim strDatabasePath As String
Dim intSlashLocation As Integer

This works perfectly to display the image I'd like through WebBrowser control I put onto the form....HOWEVER --and here's my question--the image size is not bound to the size bounds of the control size itself.So if my control is 2 inches by 2 inches and the image is 16 inches by 16 inches, then the image doesn't fully show within the control.
I'd like to get the control to show the whole image (sized down as appropiate, or sized up as appropriate) such that the whole image is contained within the control.I know how to limit the display of any image in HTML.
I'm currently making a form to display employee info in a nice fashion..
Anyway I have the employee photo displayed in an image control.
I want to be able to apply some tricks to the borders to make it look better. To do that, I need to make the width property equal to the width of the actual image while the height is restrained
