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?
In my table I have Picture (OLE) and Link_String (Text) On my Form I have the OLE field and the text field.
In the text field I would like to put in a reference to a file on my computer (example: P:PicturesTest.jpg) and the picture OLE field should then show the linked to picture.
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.

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?
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.
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...
The form is specifically made to be wider than the screen, so that there is a scroll bar at the bottom. I have an embedded picture for the background which is intended to be the size of the form, meaning that the picture is also wide.
In Design view, I can see that the background picture fits the form perfectly, which is what I want to see in Form View.
In Form view, though, the picture is squished to fit the screen. The only time it doesn't do that is if I set the Picture Size Mode to Clip, but then it only shows a portion of it, and when I scroll horizontally, the background picture doesn't scroll with it.
When I have a simple table, users pictures inside maps (jpeg,png...) defined as OLE object, when creating the form from that tables, don't have picture shown, only name of the picture? I tried all the options, package, copy, paste... nothing...always the same... just picture name but no picture.
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 ..
" Is it possible to toggle the visibility of a picture on a form's detail section for each row based on a query whether a certain condition is met? "
I have a form, which fetches data from a database and populates the content as a number of rows in the detail section.
For each row I want to test if a certain 'yes/no' condition is met on each query and the toggle the visibility on a picture that I have placed in the detail section.
I've tried seveal possible solutions now, like macros and VBA but haven't got it working.
I'm creating a database for a flower shop for training purpose. I have a main form with a sub form that has the orders in it. when placing a new order for a client and selecting the product from the combo box, it would be great if the product could show up to the right in the form.
I have no clue if this is possible and how to get it working. I have included the database as an attachment, which way to follow. I remember that I could do this on a web page, but a web page is not the same as a database.
What is the best way to accomplish this? I have a database that split into the Front end and the Back end. The form that the users entering the information uses the queries from two sources. One is the a table within Access and the other is an excel spreadsheet that I link to it. How can I update /replace the Excel spreadsheet while users are using the form of the front End?
As the DB is too big to put as an attachment i have attached the relationships.
I have a form 'Call next customer', based upon call details table. Within this the Customer ID field. I want to place a button on the form 'place an order for this customer' which would take them to an uncompleted order form but with the Customer ID already filled in.
I have managed to this to some extend but the button directs me to a completed from for that customer - a past order.
Any ideas? I will, around 6pm tonight (1 Feb '04) upload the database upon my website to view: www.lecoqsportif.co.uk
I am currently looking for a way to add data in a form with picture and then be able to view all entries with data.
Basically what I want to see is "product image > item number > client > description > material" with for example 500 entries, i want to be able to see a whole list of all entries. I would like to be able to make every entry as described above.
