I made a db with tons of forms and they all have pictures on. I want to know if there is a quick way to embed them all so I don't have to go in the settings of every picture and do it manually!
View RepliesI have a form with a lot of data structured in tabs. Since the tab loads all the data at once while the navigation form browses to the desired form. I have tried but the issue is the Master-Child link. The form in the navigation form is not considered as a subform, hence, no way to set a Master-Child link. The navigation form itself is the subform but even when setting up a link there it has no influence on the form displayed by the navigation 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form that I would like to embed some text that is queried from the internet. I'd like to have a part of this form display this "quote of the day" info in a textbox, and im not sure how to do it.
The link to access the quote is through javascript:
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.quoteworld.org/quotes.js"></script>
Any ideas of how this might be accomplished?
Thank you,

Greetings:
This is a new area for me and I am struggling with how to approach the solution. Have searched the archives but still can't figure it out....
I have a database that stores call center coaching events. I would like to insert a wav file (recorded conversation) into each record and be able to play the wav file when the record is current in the form.
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I am new to ACCESS, I have some experience with SQL, VBA and RDBD having been trained by ORACLE
The attached tables come from a RB I am making, I can run the SQL and it works, I have failed to create form or report tha enables users to simple use a button to invoke that code.
Several people have sent answers but I have not made them work, the tutorials that I have looked do not explain with simple examples that I can follow.
I need to be able to embed an interactive word document in an access form. The need is to put in text that has underlines and strikethroughs to indicate name changes to policies.
The user creates a new proposed update by designating the policy number but I need a word file attached to this update that can show more punctuation than access can show.
Of course I want to make this as automated as possible so the user doesn't have to work in two different places to get this done.
I am using Access 2003 in a simple database and want to add digital pictures of each item in my database.
Before trying to enhance the database with pictures; the various fields are filled with either descriptive text or numbers. The size of the mdb database file is 464k.
I recently wanted to add a picture of each database entry. After adding a picture that is only 300k in size the mdb file increase to 18MD. Then after adding another picture also of 300k bytes my database grew to 25MB.
In the drop down menus Under Tools - Database Utilities - I ran the Compact & Repair Database. This did not reduce the size.
In the database Form I am using a Bound Object Frame to hold the picture and yes I am not linking the picture I am including it in the database. But, would only expect it to increase the database size by slightly more than the picture size.
I should also point out that the only way I have found to get the picture to be visible (not just an icon of the type of picture file) is to right click on the Bound Object Frame scroll down and choose Insert Object. Click on Create New and select Adobe Photoshop Image. This open adobe photoshop I make sure the picture properties are creating a picture of 300k.
So my question(s) is again. Why is my database increasing in size so rapidly? Is there a better to insert picture into a database?
Regards, Roy (HerlocherR@aol.com)
I know if you use pictures in forms it makes the database file size very big, if you have a products database and want to show a picture of each product, therefore each picture is different, is there a way of doing this and keeping the database size reasonable?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am putting together a query-based form for an auction, that needs to include an image of each item retrieved.
One of the columns in the source table contains the name of the picture file (e.g. "pic001.jpg","nopic.jpg") to be displayed for each row retrieved.
How do I link this text with the presentation of that image on my form?
I have a pretty sound knowledge of SQL and I'm fairly comfortable with Access.
All contributions welcome!
Can I add a picture as a background for a form, rather than just a colour? I can't see how, but I'm sure I've seen others do it.
NB: I have developed my database in Access 2003, to ensure that it is usable by all computers networked on my system.
Also, would this dramatically alter the size of the database?
I am trying to create command buttons with a picture (bmp) on it, and centering the label and the pictures in the middle. I selected bottom position for the label, but it seems to keep the pictures always aligned on the left.

I am building an application for my marketing dept. that will track their mailouts. So far I can handle it; however, they want a thumbnail displayed of each piece of creative. I can do this if they only wanted to see one record at a time, but they want all records w/in a certain date range and the pic that goes with it. I am currently storing the path to the image so not to gorge my db to explosion.
pic campaign_name start end mail_out #_pieces
pic campaign_name start end mail_out #_pieces
pic campaign_name start end mail_out #_pieces
pic campaign_name start end mail_out #_pieces
where pic is the thumbnail. I have built it with a continuous form so I can display all the records but I am up to change if needed.
I have read other posts and they all deal with single forms and the onCurrent event is not really working for me.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
To display images on a form (Access 2003) I used the same code of the Northwind database sample (Form Emplyees).
when changing the Picture's location it returns a bug in the code (Couldn' open ...the file), or the ErrorMessage Label should have the value: "File not Found".
Here is the code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim res As Boolean
Dim fName As String
Path = CurrentProject.Path
On Error Resume Next
ErrorMsg.Visible = False
If Not IsNull(Me![ProductPicture]) Then
res = IsRelative(Me![ProductPicture])
fName = Me![ImagePath]
If (res = True) Then
fName = Path & "" & fName
End If
Debug.Print "fName: " & fName
Me![ImageFrame].Picture = fName
showImageFrame
Me.PaintPalette = Me![ImageFrame].ObjectPalette
If (Me![ImageFrame].Picture <> fName) Then
hideImageFrame
ErrorMsg.Caption = "File not Found"
ErrorMsg.Visible = True
End If
Else
hideImageFrame
ErrorMsg.Caption = "Click on Add/Edit to add the Product Picture"
ErrorMsg.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
Function IsRelative(fName As String) As Boolean
IsRelative = (InStr(1, fName, ":") = 0) And (InStr(1, fName, "") = 0)
End Function

I'm trying to add pictures to a form (not in the database, just a graphic on the form).
In 2010 there is an "insert image" button. Is there one in 2007 and if not how would I do that?
To start off I have only been working in Access(2003) for the past 2 months. And Yes I am a neebie of all neebies but please read on.
What I am trying to do is for every record I need to associate multiple pictures of damages to items in for repair. For example I have an High end Amplifier that came in for repair and the outside has markings of a fire(thats one pix) then opening it up we see that the fuses, wires and PC board has fire marks also(pix two) and so on. The record is keyed to the serial number. On the form my fields are Serial number, RMA #, all the senders info (name,address, contact number, store purchased, etc.). Then I created a subform for the picture with the following the picture itself, buttons(previous, next, add pic, delete pic) a hiden textbox(serial number) that I have joined(relationship) to the major form(serial number).
How do I link the pic to that specific serial number and then other pictures that also link to that serial number.
I know its wordy but I wanted to make it as clear as I could.
Thank You

I have successfully used the recommended way to display images from a folder in a form as posted on the microsoft website.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/210100/
These instructions were for Access 2000. I noticed that there are seperate instructions for doing this using Access 2003.:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285820/
My questions are:
1. If multiple users access this database using different versions of Access (2000 and 2003) will it not work for some?
2. do i have to modify code if i update to 2003?
Thanks for youir feedback!

I was curious if there is a way to embed images into a database, so that if I emailed it to someone, the images would still be able to open. I tried using a table and adding attachments, but that doesn't seem to work very well.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi everyone
I know it's possible to use Access to create a Word document and think it's possible to have a button (or combobox) open a Word document saved on the hard drive. If I'm correct with the second belief, the Word file(s) would need to be moved with the Access database if it's moved to another directory or PC.
Is it possible to save the Word (or other) files within the database itself so simply moving the database to another directory or PC would take the "embedded" files with it? I realise that the database file size will increase, but suspect that this increase would be similar to the size of the individual Word files.
Thanks for your time.
I like to make a small code in access to take pictures with any camera, then store with file name, date and time? please I need help.. if someone can give me an idea I appreciate this. thanks again..
View 3 Replies View RelatedOK, I asked this question a day or so ago and got some feed back. What I would really like is a difinative answer. Basically Yes or No. Is it possible to add small picture, (icon size) to a comobox. I realise its not good practice to have pictures embeded in the DB but on this occasion its what I need to do. Ive found software on the web that allows you to do it, which leads me to belive that it can be done, any ideas!

View 8 Replies View RelatedI need to do something in excel but I have never used excel before. I need to make a form with a box. When you click on the box it shhould promt you to add a picture to the box. It should also format the picture so that it is the same size as the box. So far we have the box, but we still need to figure out what code to input so that it prompts you to add an image and then resizes it to fit the box. This is the code we have so far:
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
.Title = "Seleccione la imagen"
.Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*"
.Filters.Add "JPEGs", "*.jpg"
.Filters.Add "Bitmaps", "*.bmp"
.FilterIndex = 3
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = Application.Path
result = .Show
If (result <> 0) Then
fileName = Trim(.SelectedItems.Item(1))
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(fileName)
End If
End With
I am not sure if this can be done in excel or if I have to use another application to do this. I need to figure this out within the next couple of days, so if you have ANY idea of how to do this please post a response.
I have trouble adding pictures to my forms.
On the form when I add a picture, it just shows me the link and when I double click on it, it displays the .gif file. ( I did define it as an OLE object in the table)
I am not sure if there is something specific I need to do in order to display the picture right there on the form.
