Embedding Loads Of Photos
Jan 26, 2007
I am wondering if it is possible to embed all of the photos that I have into my photo table automatically. I have the table set up with all of the data that needs to be there but I have over 1500 photos that need to be embedded and wanted to save myself some time and automate the process somehow. I already know that embedding these photos is going to make my database huge but that isn't an issue for this particular project.
As far as I can tell from this forum, the help and the Northwind database this isn't possible without manually going through every photo but I am pretty new to Access so thought I would throw the question out there.
Thanks

In an attempt to keep the aged and wise users of the DB from overlooking the "display as Icon" cbo when embedding PDF's, and thus finding them unaware of attached documents, I'm searching for a way to select this by default to eliminate the problem altogether.(leban's didn't seem to say anything helpful on the matter)
Any ideas, virtual-mentors?

Is there any way to embed a report in a form?
What I want to do is something similar to using a subform, but I want to use a subreport as part of a region of a form (linked by the master/child fields).
The reason for this is because it is impossible to draw lines on a form. I MUST be able to do so (I've been through all the API stuff and after 3 hours, I realize it's just not an option). I can easily get a report to look the way I want it, and I want to display the section that has lines in the report.
Yes, I realize that it's read-only; there will be another interface for getting the data in. I just want to display it graphically with connecting lines.
Thanks,
SHADOW

I have an access icon (*.ico) file associated with my DB. But when I try to access the database from a place other than my desktop where the icon is located the icon doesn't show up. Is there any way to embed the icon into the application so that when the database is loaded on a different machine the icon loads too..

Hi
From advice I have read on here I have worked out how to create a button on a form which opens a report to show the values which match the record open on the form. It then attaches that page as a txt file to an email. Which is great.
What I would like it to do though is insert into the body text of the email the text from the report. Have looked as much as I can at the properties of DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport but cannot achieve this myself.
What I have is pretty much this:
Code:DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "Your matching details this week", acFormatTXT, Me!PersonEmail, , , "Details this week " & Date, "Please see the attached text file for details this week which match your selection criteria.", False
How can I make the text appear within the email body?

I'm using Access 2010's DoCmd.OutputTo in VBA to export reports to PDF. The "look and feel" of the PDFs are very important, as they will be distributed to clients of my company. I'm using special corporate fonts that are legally licensed for embedding as a subset. Two are .ttf (TrueType) and two are .otf (OpenType) fonts. The ttf fonts embed fine; the otf fonts do not, and the PDF viewer substitutes something it thinks is close (but really isn't). In the properties of the fonts in Windows Control Panel, the embedding properties are exactly the same for both.
Any way to force the fonts to embed? or any other workaround? Also, is there any way to edit-protect PDFs with VBA code? Or apply any other type of PDF security such as requiring a password to open?

I have a database in which i have a table imagemaster including fields as id,name,image(attachment)
Now I have a form on which image name is there on label
I have an imagecontrol on the form with no picture at start
I use dlookup function on formload event which pull image from the imagemaster table.
When my form is loaded it show ( can't open the file 1.png ) which is exactly the file from the table that i want to open. It means it goes right there to the source but cannot open that or embed that into my image control.

I 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.

I'm not brilliant at using MS Access - can't use the VBA codes or anything like that.
basically, I want to set up a database of photogrpahs where you store thephotograph in Access, and then run a query to search for specific photos, which brings up a form showing the picture.
I seem to be OK at doing all of this so far except I can't get the photo to appear in the form - it just displays a link which you double click on to get to the photo.
I've tried to look up how to sort this on the web but don't understand the way people speak about access :confused:
can anyone help???

I've got a database that tracks name/address/phone, etc for a large group of people. I've recently added the ability to include a person's photo on the forms and reports. I've done that by saving the photos with the naming convention of [firstname]_[lastname].jpg and then using VBA, the database checks to see if there is a file with the corresponding name of the record and displays the picture if so.
It works very well, but I can see where I would have some problems in the future. For example, if someone gets married and changes their name, the corresponding photo must also be renamed to display properly. And if there are any misspellings, that becomes a problem. Also, if James decides he wants to go by Jim, the photo would not be displayed, either.
I'm wondering if anyone has any other ideas on how I might accomplish my goal. I know I could name the photo based on the record ID, but that's not a good option, since I'll be handling the photos, while someone else will be inputting the contact details. So I won't know the recordID easily.
Is there some way to have another field in each record that points to the corresponding photo? Then if James goes by Jim, his first name can be changed, but the corresponding picture name could remain the same.
Is there some great idea that I'm missing that would make this process much simpler and scalable? Or do I just have to deal with the maintenance issues?
Thanks.

Access 2003, Win XP Pro
I have tried to find information on how to do this but everything I try fails.
I have a form on which I want to display JPG photos which are stored in a folder called FCP. The path to each photo is stored in the database table. Each record will have one photo only and the path looks something like this:
C:Documents and SettingsBKALProjectLRFCP4.jpg
Can someone tell me exactly how to design a form picture field that will display the relevant photo?
Thanks!

I have created a profiling database for my school. Each student can access their own form via the school's admission number - which I use as the primary key for most of the tables on the form. One section of the form shows a photo of the student. I take this photo from the school's SIMS photo file which had all the children's photos. Each photo in the file uses the school's admission number as its filename (for example 000358.jpg ).
I want to update the photos in my table by using a macro or piece of CBA code. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this. When I set the database up I did each photo one at a time, so it took several hours.

Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Select Case MsgBox("Please select the Registration Number from the drop down menu or type it in", vbOKOnly, "Select Registration Number")
End Select
End Sub
-------------------------------------------
but the problem is that the msgbox appears before the form is opened.

Hi,
I've got a parent/sub-form set up, both of which derive their data from linked tables connecting to a central database. As a result I've had to add coding to the NewRecord events to fetch the next primary keys from the database.
Unfortunately I'm finding that one loading the new record, the child form seems to be loading before the parent, ie the child form_Current event occurs before the parent form_Current event. Is this how it should be? It seems intuitive that the parent should load first.
I'm sure I can develop some cunning logic to get around this problem but I'm sure there must be a better way. Has anyone any experience of this parent/child set-up with linked, central database tables?
thanks!
Dave

I have a form that displays data based on a simple query. The query asks for a PO number (from the query) and then displays the data. I wish to open a web page after the PO number is put in. What is the vb code to do so and is it on the onLoad or onOpen portion of the form?
Also, the web address needs that PO number. So, the web address would be: http://www.mydomain.com?PO=PONumber where PONumber is what was entered into the text box that was prompted by the query. Any ideas on where to start on this one? Thanks!
