Forms :: Relative Folder On Image Path
Jul 10, 2013
I am trying to link an images (.png) onto a form. I have a folder of all the images I want but I want the path to be relative. So that if I move the access file and the images folder to a new location, it will still work.
In the properties for the image, It works fine as C:UsersjohnDesktopimage1.png but what I am looking for is the ability to use "imagesimage1.png" as the file will always be in that relative folder to the db.
What is the correct syntax for this? putting image1.png in the same directory and just using image1.png works, but this won't be very tidy with 100+ images.
I have tried:
imagesimage1.png
imagesimage1.png
imagesimage1.png
With PictureType set as linked.
I know from searching it is possible through VBA by getting the root directory of the folder and appending the filename. Don't really want to go this root. I also don't particularly want to create a table to store the images or links.

I have a form that I would like to update a picture on using VBA. The source of the picture path is in part a query that is not bound to the form. So far I have the following code that is pretty much working, but with a couple flaws.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
LoadDefaultPicture
End Sub
Sub LoadDefaultPicture()
Dim db As DAO.Database
[Code] ....
This is working. However, when I change the record the picture flashes the current picture once and then loads the new picture. It is like it reloads the current picture then loads the new one. I'm hoping there is a way to get rid of the flash.
Also, the code fails here:
strDefaultPictureName = rs.Fields("AttachmentName")
When the query does not return a record. I can definitely fix this by adding an if statement to check for a record, but I'm kind of perplexed at why it is failing at that line. I would expect it to assign an empty string to that variable name and then fail on the next command where I try and set the ".Picture" property of the image.

I have a database that I migrate to different locations as we change stations (military). I keep the master on my C: drive and then put a copy onto the shared network drive. I keep my images in a subfolder of the master db.
example:
C:Pirate (master db)
C:Piratedbfiles (where I store the images)
I have the images "linked" on the forms to the subfolder "dbfiles" that is on the shared drive. However, as we change locations the drive letter changes for the shared drive. I want to make a "relative" link to the pictures in the properties box as so:
Piratedbfilesimage1.jpg
or
dbfilesimage1.jpg
However, it keeps putting the C: in front of the text or else it won't find the images. I desire it to look in the subfolder of the active db (whether or not it is on the LAN or hard drive).
I know I can embed the images, but that exponentially increases the size of the db. I've played around with putting them in a table, but couldn't make that work either.
Oh, Access 2000.
Thanks,
Brian

Set up a txtbox that will house a variable (no worries)
I want a button that when clicked to open a "MS Windows window" that allows the user to navigate to a folder. When done I need that path to be placed in the textbox I set up (Or to a variable)
Does that make sense?

I am using MS Access 2010. I have a code that I am using that loops through a folder gather all the names of the files in the folder and inserts them into a table (shown below). The table is named "tblFiles" there are two columns in the table titled file name and file path. What I want to do is to also loop through the same folder to find the file path of the files and insert them into the file path column has a hyperlink where users can just click on the hyperlink and the file opens.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim fs, f, f1, fc, s
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblFiles")

I have the code below and I want it to open a file from my documents folder. The only problem is that every computers path is different to this folder. Any easy way to work around and open a file in My Documents without the full path?
I want to eliminate the part of the path in red and make it universal because computers will have a different number.
Operating System: Windows 7
Code below:
Public Function AddITARPicOffloadAnalysis()
Dim xlApp As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
With xlApp
Dim wb As Object
Dim ws As Object
Dim Lastrow As Long

Hello. I've searched and read a few threads concerning image controls on forms and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem (yet). Anyway, I have a form with two image controls (imgOK1 & imgOK2). The previous and current setting of the "Picture" property for both images is set to "C:MOMGraphicsfilename.bmp". The location of my images has changed and will change for each user which is "C:Documents and Settingsuser.nameMOMGraphicsfilename.bmp". I'm using the following code to set the .Picture property on form load:
Dim ImgPath
ImgPath = "C:Documents and Settings" & Environ("username") & "My DocumentsMOMGraphics"
Me.imgOK1.Picture = ImgPath & "imgButton-OK1_25%.bmp"
Me.imgOK2.Picture = ImgPath & "imgButton-OK2_25%.bmp"
When the form is opened, an error stating that the image located at "C:MOMGraphicsfilename.bmp" cannot be found; once for each image control. Then the form loads and .Picture properties appear to be set correctly as they are displayed fine. I've tried to clear the .Picture properties for both image controls using the properties editor but the original path returns as soon as the property loses focus. Is there a way to programatically set this property and make it stick so the errors are not displayed?

I'm using GHudson's A Better Mouse Trap code. It works great. However, I added other code from http://www.databasedev.co.uk/image-form.html to get and save the path to image files and now I think there is a conflict between the sets of code.
The Images tab on the form frm_CreateNewSpec is where I have problems. The error messages are definitely from Mouse Trap...I just don't know how to resolve the problem.
I've probably missed something simple, but don't know what.
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated by this novice.

I'm working on a database for my holiday pictures. The pictures are organized in folders per trip/date/location.
When viewing the data of a particular trip, I want the form to display a random image from the respective folder (path stored in database).
I already found a function to count the files in the folder:
Code:
Function GetFileCount(folderspec As String) As Integer
' Returns a count of files in folderspec, or -1 if folder does not exist
Dim fso As Object
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FolderExists(folderspec) Then
GetFileCount = fso.GetFolder(folderspec).Files.Count
Else
GetFileCount = -1
End If
End Function
to plug into a "randomizer":
Code:
lngFileCount = GetFileCount(strFOLDER)
Randomize
intRND = 1 + Int(lngFileCount * Rnd())
MsgBox intRND
The thing I can't find is how to reference this nth file (or even if there is a way to directly reference this file).
Is there, or do I have to use some kind of looping?

I have a piece of code that I'm using to display an image on a report based on a path saved to each record. the code is:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.ImagePath) Then
Me.ImgPic.Picture = "O:BellinghamIntranetProductionLabelsNo Label.bmp"
Else
Me.ImgPic.Picture = Me.ImagePath
End If
End Sub
It seems like every few months the code crashes access and then never works again. When I debug, the part that is highlighted is:
Code:
Me.ImgPic.Picture = Me.ImagePath
The only way i've found to correct it is to delete the report and the module and copy them back in from a backup database. What could be causing this code to crash or how to stabalize my database to prevent this from happening again.

After some help from one of the threads here I managed to install a Browse button in a form that inserts a file path to a text box. What I need is the folder path from that file path in another text box. For example if the file path is
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketchesowl.jpg
I would like to get either
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketches
Or,
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketches
in my second text box.
I do not have much experience with Access; therefore please give a little detail on how to accomplish this.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm buliding an access system in which the forms and tables stored in seperate databases as such:
forms: \serverdirmyDatabase.mdb
tables: \serverdirdatamyTables.mdb
myDatabase has a load of linked tables from myTables. Problem; my network drives are mapped differently from the users, so the links do not work for me.
So - does anyone know how I can set up a relative link, so myDatabase looks for datamyTables? i.e. it looks from the source directory rather than checking the whole path back to the root?
Hope this is making sense . . .
Dave

I'm trying to automate a process of selecting a set of file/s and move them in a folder. When I click on a button, it should open a current folder that is setup in the code.
Lets say that I have a folder C:documents est, and very time I click on the button, it should open the dialog box with that path so I can select the files from another folder, drag them there and they will be saved in that folder.
This will form part of wider automation that will send an email stating that those file/s where placed in that folder.
I have in the same form where the button is placed, 3 check boxes that needs to be passed to the email as well that one or all the files where placed in the folder.

I'm trying to open a folder based on a BIN nr. This folder could be in a main folder that has diferent subfolder. As there where differnt naming used to create the folderes, one of the things they have always is the BIN nr. It alwasy start with a unique number and maybe I could use it to scan the subfolders and open that one that the BIN nr is equal as in the field BIN.
Now we have serveral 1000th of folders and finding them takes time.

The code is a mix of someone else's and mine. Essentially the form is like a document library, based on the parameters in the form, it takes the original document that is selected by the user, then copies the file over to a central repository. When I don't pass a value over from another form using the following:
Me!AssociatedFeedback = Me.OpenArgs
Then everything works fine. Doesn't matter where I put this line of code (form open, after update, etc.) I get an MS Access error that says "Path Not Found" when you execute the "cmdSave" button.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Dim strFilePathFrom As String
Dim strFileFrom As String
Dim strFilePathTo As String
Dim strFileTo As String
Dim strFileDeskTop As String
[code]....

I currently have a database where users input new parts into a database using a part form. When they put in the part type, a tracking number is automatically generated. I would like a folder to be created for each part where we can store pictures and a report. How would i have it create a report to a certain area using the tracking number as the folder name? I also want to be able to upload pictures and eventually save the report in there but creating the folder is the first step.

I am sending an email using SendObject, like this:
DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , , eMailAddress, ccAddress, , Me.Subject, Me.MessageBody, 0
The email is sent correctly. However, in Access 2003 a copy was posted to the Outlook 'Sent' folder. Since we have moved to Outlook 2010, a copy is no longer posted to the 'Sent' folder. We miss having that copy.
Is there an option that I can set to post the email to the user's 'Sent' folder? If not, what about a BCC? How can I get the user's email address?
