Forms :: Image Display On Subform
Aug 15, 2015
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!

I have a continuous subform which queries a table of attachments. I'm using Access 2007 but not using the Attachment datatype; this DB will grow considerably and I don't want to waste precious space by filling it with bulky files. So instead, I have code which makes a copy of the attachment and adds the hyperlink (to the copy) to the table instead.
Now - I want to add a control to the subform to display an icon / image reflecting the file type of the attachment (Word doc, Excel s/s, PDF etc.)
But not sure how to go about it.
I was thinking I could use FileSystemObject.GetFileExtension at the point in the code where the attachment is added, and add a new field to my attachments table (i.e. translate "*.xls*" to "Excel", etc.) Then store / embed a handful of images for the core types I would expect and use an image control on the subform to display the image based on the value of that field.
But is that even possible / feasible?
Or, is there a handy API which can retrieve the icon associated with a file type based on what has been installed on the local machine (even if there is, there's still the problem of setting up the image control to display the appropriate icon specific to each record...)
Or, is there another control available which would be better suited to something like this than an Image control?

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
thanks

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
To know what i mean check this : [URL] .....

I am trying to show an image on a form based on a user choice from a drop down box. For example, the user needs to choose a priority for a task. If the user chooses "Immediate" I want an image of an exclamation point to show up to draw attention that this is important.

I'm working on a wine database (for ages now...). I'm currently struggling getting the following to work. I have a form in which one can select the name and vintage of a wine using a combo box, after which also a picture will be shown of that wine. I have the pictures as attachments in a table. One can then press a button to close this form and go to another form in which one can edit all the details of the selected wine. Problem: I can't get the picture to show.
I have a reasonably simple form with a combo box, a text box, a button and an attachment field in which a picture should show.
I made a query to select the id, name and vintage from the wine table. I couldn't select the attachment field for the pic in the wizard, so I added that myself in the Design View. The Query for the combo box now reads:
Code:
SELECT Wijn.Id, Wijn.Naam, Wijn.Vintage, Wijn.Plaatje FROM Wijn ORDER BY Wijn.[Naam], Wijn.[Vintage];
(translation: Naam = name | Plaatje = picture)
It neatly shows name and vintage in the drop down list. Once selected it only shows the name of the wine in the combo box and I use VBA to fill the Text Box with the vintage of the selected wine. The VBA I use is:
Code:
Private Sub cmbNaamWijn_Change()
Me.txtVintage.Value = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(2)
End Sub
All works fine. Also when I pres the button, the wine I selected opens up and can be editted and the select form nicely closes. The only problem is the fact that I cannot get the picture to show!
I inserted an attachment field with the name: attImage. In the VBA code I added the line:
Code:
Me.attImage.Picture = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(3)
Doesn't work. With debugging I do see it gets the correct value form the table. I get an error message stating "Method or data member not found", so Picture is not available for the attachment object I guess. If I look at what is available, I can't select anything useful. So my next try was adding an image control with the name: ImageWine and the VBA code in the On Change property
Code:
Me.ImageWine.Picture = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(3)
results in the following: Run-time error '2220'. Microsoft Access can't open the file '[FilenamePicture]'. Logical in a way I guess, since there's no path in there. I also tried the Bound Object Frame, but that resulted in the same problem as the attachment try described above.

im having problems getting a subform to calculate another subform's total and display it as it keeps coming up with the #NAME?.Basically my database is like this
tblCustomer
- tblOrders
- tblItems
and this is displayed on a form. so you can flick through clients, then flick through the orders and its broken down into the items inside each order.i have seen many answers that are only about calculating something on a subform and displaying on a form but this does not work when displaying on a 'parent' subform. the form structure looks like this
frmCustomers
- sFrmCustomerItems
- sFrmCustomerOrders
i have a calculated control textbox in the footer of sFrmCustomerOrders with sums up all the prices using =sum([Price])and in my sFrmCustomerItems, i have a field called Amount (the total amount of all the items) and the Control Source formula i was using was =[Forms]![sFrmCustomerOrders]![sFrmCustomerItems]![txtTotalPrice] but i get a #NAME? error.

I have a form that shows data from tables tbl_AgencyInfo, and a subform showing data from tables tbl_CourseInfo & tbl_StudentInfo. Each agency can have mutliple students and multiple courses, so that is why it is set up this way.
My subform will only display one record at a time, however, even though there are multiple students/coursess that relate to the agency. I am thinking something is off with my relationships but I'm not totally sure. In previous databases I have linked my tables together in a central table, but that table in this case does not seem to be populating.

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.

I have a form that contains a number of tabs, each tab then contains a subform. The basic gist is that there are clients and each client chart needs to be audited to make sure that the every clients chart has all of the correct information in it. So if for example, each client needs an initial treatment plan, there would be a tab called Initial Treatment Plan that would contain a subform (continuous form) displaying all of the clients that are missing this information.
I would like to display the number of records that are being displayed in each subform in the tab next to the name to make it easier for the auditor to know how many which tabs have content to be updated. For example, if there are 10 clients that are missing their initial treatment plan, the tab would read "Initial Treatment Plan (10)".
I was able to get a total number of rows in datasheet view, but I don't know if there is a way to have that field as a hidden field in continuous form view that can have its value displayed in the tab.

I have a blank form with a subform. All I want to do is have a combo box with the names of the subforms in, and when you choose one it is displayed in the subform box.
Names of the subforms are:-
qselDuplicateCustomersByHomePhoneNumber
qselDuplicateCustomersByMobileNumber
qselDuplicateCustomersBySurname&Street
qselDuplicateCustomersBySurnameHouseNo&PartStreet
qselDuplicateCustomersBySurnameHouseNo&Street
I'd like to display them more readable in the combo box, i.e. 'Duplicate Customers by Mobile Number'.I'd also prefer that the subform box is blank when the form is opened.

I have a main form and a subform. The main form displays the information as combo box = column.2 (in other words it shows the actual word not recorded y/n checkbox = obviously shows which is checked
However the subform shows
combobox = 1 or 2 etc the recordid
y/n check box 1 for yes 2 for no
How do I get the subform to display the words instead of numbers? (can live with the Y/N)
have basically the same issue with a split form (combo only) shows words and datasheet view shows corresponding record id number
tried using =[coffeetype].[column.2] on both the subform and split form datasheet but doesn't work.

I am using Access 2010. I have a subform(continuous form) that I display as a datasheet and allow filtering. I display the record count by using Me.Recordset.RecordCount in the subform's form_current event. This value updates properly based on the column filtering except when the filtering displays 0 records.
When there are 0 records, the form_current event does not fire and I cannot figure out how to trap when this occurs so that I can display '0 records found'. How I can tell when the column filtering causes 0 records to display in the datasheet? Is there an event that fires when the user filters using the column headings arrow?

I 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
[code]...
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 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.

My end goal is to display an image for every row on a report and/or form.I reviewed the various options for that, and finally decided the best thing to do would be to put the images in a separate folder in my PC, and put the path for the image in a column in the main(primary) table.In my form or report, I put an Image Frame, and put the ImagePath column in the Control Source. All is well and good.
However, I realize the inherent problem with having the full path in every single row, since I could move the image folder and I'd be hosed.So, I created an Environment Variables table, and I have a column called ImageFolder. Then I changed the name of the column in the primary table to ImageName instead of ImagePath. My hope was to be able to concatenate ImagePath and ImageName as the Control Source on the form and report.
I couldn't figure out a way to do that, since they are in two different tables, with no direct relationship between the tables.For the report, I created a workaround by creating a query of all the fields, including a field which concatenated the path and the ImageName. But since I use the form/ sub form to update the records, that wouldn't work for the form. My next attempt was to try to add an ImagePath back again to the primary record, but to have it default to the value that's in the EnvironmentalVariables table.

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?
