Forms :: Displaying And Scaling Image From URL On A Form
Feb 20, 2015
I am using Access 2007.I have an application that keeps track of automotive parts and accessories.I have a table called "PARTS" that contains information about the various parts such as "part_name", "part_id", "price" etc.
I also have a website/shop that displays these various parts and also has an image of each part.I have managed to incorporate Microsoft Web Browser ActiveX functionality within the app so that when I scroll through the Parts table using the PartsForm, it automatically "reads" the URL from a field in the Parts table called "ImageURL" and displays it in the Microsoft Web Browser ActiveX browser window...this works great.
I have a database which creates hyperlinks to a network folder full of images (too many to attach to the database) but I can't figure out an easy way to show those images in forms and reports. I think I'm 90% there, looking online I figured out that if i create a text field (not a hyperlink) in the original table and copy over the hyperlink text, I can use this as the control source of an image control (with the picture type set to 'linked').
That works fine, but I would still have to manually copy over the URL every time I link to a new picture - so is there a way i can get this to feed through automatically?I've tried a couple of ways already (calculated fields, 'set value' macros) but the problem is anytime I try to get clever, Access doubles the link address, making it utterly useless as a control source.
So for example, i ran a macro to set the text field value to equal the hyperlink value of c:mydocspicture.jpg, and the result looked like this c:mydocspicture.jpg#c:mydocspicture.jpg#Or maybe there are functions similar to excel (like 'left' and 'len') which i can use to extract the right part of the hyperlink.
I have a form in which I want to retrieve images from a folder. Each record contains a txt field where the path of the image is located. Not every record contains a path to the image file as some records does not have images. I have created an image field in my form and used the following code: Me.Image129.Picture = Me.imagetxt to retrieve the image. I would like to display an image containing the words "No Image" whenever the imagetxt field is blank. How would I do this. I cannot go back and fill in the blank imagetxt field with a path as I am pulling the data from an external source. Also, would this be the same method if I am creating an image field for a report? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I read a tutorial for displaying images from a database but ran into an error: Within my table "teams" I have a field called 'timage' which contains the path to an image (/images/logo.jpg). All I want to do is display that logo next to its corresponding team.
I thought I could do something like this: <% dim pic pic="SELECT timage FROM teams WHERE ID=1" %> <IMG SRC="pic">
Now I am sure everyone will laugh becuase that is really wrong, but I am new and don't know the problem. The tutorial said I had to create a new .asp page to display the image, I didn' think that applied to what I am trying to do and tried to work around that. Please help me. thanks!
I have the following VB Code to pull an image path and display in a form:
Code:Private Sub Form_Current() On Error Resume Next Me![ImageFrame].Picture = Me![Photo]End SubPrivate Sub Photo_AfterUpdate() On Error Resume Next Me![ImageFrame].Picture = Me![Photo] End Sub
The problem is that not all of the field's (Photo) contain a path. How can I have it display "C:imageslank.jpg" if there is no specified path?
Don't Kill me folks... I know this has been asked and answered, but I'm not able to get it to work. I'm using Access 2000.
I have an image in the Report called ImageFrame and the following code:
Code:Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) On Error Resume Next Me.ImageFrame.Picture = Me.PhotoEnd Sub
What am I doing wrong? Is there something else to set? I don't get an error, but it only shows the image I chose to place the image control in the first place...
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?
I have been tasked to scan family pictures in such a way so they are available to older family members to identify people younger family members dont know. My solution is to scan each photo, name them 1.jpg, 2.jpg. about 4000 images. Store them in a directory (H:Family). I then want to create a form that will use the PK which is an auto number to pull that numbered picture into the form where someone can enter the other fields. I have fun with Access but this is well above my knowledge level!!
I am working on a form as a user interface. I have added an picture to the form and it will change, according to the selection in the combobox. It looks small, and not clear because of the size, and each image has different sizes. I would like to know if there is a a way that will allow me to click on it, and then it will open in another window so it is bigger with the right sizes. I was thinking that it could be something in the on click event.
I thought this would be pretty simple, but I cannot figure out how and wasn't able find the solution here or anyway.
I have a source form. (I can resort to having a Table with OLE Object if I must, but prefer not to.) On this source form I wish to include different things such as company logo. This will determine what logo shows up in all the reports, so all the reports will have an image linking back to this embedded image on the source form.
Pseudo-code Example: frmSource contains imgLogo rptSample contains an image whose control source = Forms!frmSource!imgLogo
How can I do this or achieve the same effect in a more-or-less simple way?
I have an Image control on a form which I want to examine programatically. It seems there used to be a way of doing it using Point and PSet from info I have seen online. Is this contained in any of the libraries available under References in Access and if so which one...
I'm using Access 2003 to create some reports for an insurance company I work for by interrogating the Informix database of our policy maintenance software via an ODBC connection. The linked tables and the fields included within cannot be edited due to permission restrictions (the software is provided by a third party) but this doesn't usually cause issues.
However, I've recently created a Query that extracts a *number* field from one of our database tables, but I'm having trouble due to the 'Scale' attributed to this field in the Access table settings.
Access recognizes that the field is a 'Decimal' type, but attributes a 'scale' of '0' which causes an error. 'Scale' (for those who aren't aware) refers to the maximum number of digits that can appear to the right of a decimal separator, meaning whenever this value exceeds 0 (e.g. if an advisor enters something like 240.51 - a 'Scale' of '2'), the 'Scaling of decimal value resulted in truncation' error occurs.
As mentioned earlier, we don't have the ability to amend the Scale attributed to this value due to permission restrictions, although I'm told that 'Scale' is set in Access and not on the external database anyway.
how to bypass this issue? I can't reformat the field as Access attributes the Scale upon the initial linking of the table, long before the field is used in any queries. Permission restrictions also prevent me from amending the 'Scale' value in the linked table settings.
The software house themselves can't assist as they've set this value to hold multiple decimals on the actual database. It's as if Access only checks a small proportion of the fields held in the table (the first few hundred of this particular field are whole numbers) and attributes the scale based on this.
I have a linked table in ms access and it has a column as details. in ms access when i click on this button i will go to another form. i want to assign a picture (for opening a form) to this column but i don't know how i have to do this. my form opens as a datasheet view.
I have been looking some information on changing image based on form combo box selection on form.
I manage to do case by case but i need it in a simple code because their will be many employees just to avoid adding case by case code for each one.
Private Sub Emp_IDCombo_AfterUpdate() Select Case Emp_IDCombo.Value Case "AM-001" Imageholder.Picture = "C:UsersAMGDesktopam-001.jpg" Case "AM-002" Imageholder.Picture = "C:UsersAMGOne DocumentsHR & Admin DatabaseEmployee Picturesam-002.jpg" End Select
I have employees table where all images location is saved in text field and i have a combo box on form which is employee id.
Tables relationship Employees_table [PK] to Contracts_table [FK] via field name {emp_ID}
Fields Name Combo Box name on form Emp_IDCombo and row source is SELECT Employees_table.Emp_ID, Employees_table.EmployeeName, Employees_table.Emp_Pics FROM Employees_table;
Text field is located in employees_table called [Emp_Pic] for images location.
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 have been given a form that you pass a parameter into and on the basis of this it performs certain amendments to the particular data AND also runs 2 stored procedures on this data. I need to get the data to display on the form so that the user can visually verify if it is the correct data and then they will on click to execute the amendments and stored procedures.
I cannot get the data to display on the screen? I have tried to create a variable in the VBA code to store the data in and then used a message box to try to display it but to no avail?
I have a form where users can look through different records as well as add a new record through a control button. When a new record is added, all the relevant data should end up in the corresponding back end tables.
The problem I am having is that some of the new records I am adding work perfectly (sync with the tables, etc). Other records, however, are showing up in the tables but not in the actual form. For example, when I attempt to search in the form for the record name, nothing comes up.
The Datasheet View is set to No, so it's definitely not that. I'm not really sure where else to look - the new records appear in tables and the report I have linked to the form, they just don't all show up in the actual form!
I'm trying to place a picture on my forms using a browse button code i found on the net. After picking a picture, the image won't display automatically during run time, i still need to select design view and finally form view just to display the image. Im using the events form current, and the text box afterupdate.
why access 2007 is displaying an image oddly on a 2003/2008 terminal server farm. I am reasonably sure the problem is an access on terminal server issue because if you view the image in paint, image viewer, or word it displays fine on the terminal server. I don't think it is a resolution or color issue because once again it displays fine in paint, etc regardless of color depth.
The image below shows the difference in the png graphic. The image is transparent (the blue section being the background)
[URL]
As you can see the terminal server image is pixelated.
The form the image is sitting on has a blue gradiant that goes light to dark left to right. The form properties are below
in the attached form i can select multiple image but my next and back button does not work ,also i want the path to the file shown above.to copy the name from there and paste it in the table,to write remarks.
I am trying to create a form where I store the literacy and numeracy results of a group of students. So far I have designed a form which gives me a tick box as to whether the test they took was literacy or numeracy, then a box where I enter the score. Literacy tests are scored out of 72 and numeracy out of 50.
what I would like to do is write something that shows the literacy numeracy levels of each student after each test. So for literacy, the score ranges are as follows:
What I would like to be able to do is tick whether or not they sat a literacy or numeracy test, enter the score and the db to come up with their level and display it on the form.
I am creating a driving school database and have four different tables. Student, Instructor, Lesson and Lesson Type.
In the footer of my subform which works out what lesson type the student has taken and from which instructor, I have created a calculation to multiply the number of hours a student does to what type of lesson they take.
=([LengthOfLesson]*[cost]) (This works ok)
I then want to add all of these options together. I have tried:
=sum([OverallTotal]) in the footer (This doesn't seem to work)
and then
=[Booking].[Form]![OverallTotal] to show it in the form
The name of the subform is correct (booking) and name OverallTotal is also correct but I keep getting #error message.
I have set up a form on which there is a graph which draws data from a query. I have set up a text boxes to take in the Y axis min, max and interval values so the user can customize the graph according tot he range coming out of the query. This all works fine and is perfect, however, i also need a report and set up a report with the same graph which can be printed to pdf, however, i cant get the y-axis to adjust like i do with the one on the form,
I have created and saved a form in access automatically from database table. But when I change Display Control of a field from text box to combo box,it is not reflected in the form automatically after I refresh the form.
I have a form that a user will use to search records. Upon selecting a record, there are three buttons that allows the user to look at more detailed information. This information will be on the many side of the relationship. So I will have multiple values. The called form is just a popup form that I use for several other instances, like displaying memo fields from other tables.
The problem I am having is that only one record shows up at a time on the called form. I have read through the postings and have changed the properties for Default View, Filter on Load, Data Entry, etc. Nothing seems to change the outcome. I have run the query in SQL view and have no issues. It returns the correct records and multiple rows when expecting. Why they don't show up on the form. There are no errors, just the first record from the many side of the relationship shows up in the form. I would like all records to show up, just like when I run the query.
Code:
SELECT Capability FROM Process_Meetings_Capabilities, Process_Meetings WHERE Process_Meetings_Capabilities.Meeting_ID = Process_Meetings.Meeting_ID AND Process_Meetings_Capabilities.Meeting_ID = 2;
Button Code
Code: Private Sub Capabilities_btn_Click() strSQL = "SELECT Capability AS Results" strSQL = strSQL & " FROM Process_Meetings_Capabilities, Process_Meetings" strSQL = strSQL & " WHERE Process_Meetings_Capabilities.Meeting_ID = Process_Meetings.Meeting_ID" strSQL = strSQL & " AND Process_Meetings_Capabilities.Meeting_ID = " & Me!Meeting_cmbo.Column(0)
