In an attempt to keep the aged and wise users of the DB from overlooking the "display as Icon" cbo when embedding PDF's, and thus finding them unaware of attached documents, I'm searching for a way to select this by default to eliminate the problem altogether.(leban's didn't seem to say anything helpful on the matter)
Any ideas, virtual-mentors?
I am wondering if it is possible to embed all of the photos that I have into my photo table automatically. I have the table set up with all of the data that needs to be there but I have over 1500 photos that need to be embedded and wanted to save myself some time and automate the process somehow. I already know that embedding these photos is going to make my database huge but that isn't an issue for this particular project.
As far as I can tell from this forum, the help and the Northwind database this isn't possible without manually going through every photo but I am pretty new to Access so thought I would throw the question out there.
Thanks
Is there any way to embed a report in a form?
What I want to do is something similar to using a subform, but I want to use a subreport as part of a region of a form (linked by the master/child fields).
The reason for this is because it is impossible to draw lines on a form. I MUST be able to do so (I've been through all the API stuff and after 3 hours, I realize it's just not an option). I can easily get a report to look the way I want it, and I want to display the section that has lines in the report.
Yes, I realize that it's read-only; there will be another interface for getting the data in. I just want to display it graphically with connecting lines.
Thanks,

I have an access icon (*.ico) file associated with my DB. But when I try to access the database from a place other than my desktop where the icon is located the icon doesn't show up. Is there any way to embed the icon into the application so that when the database is loaded on a different machine the icon loads too..

Hi
From advice I have read on here I have worked out how to create a button on a form which opens a report to show the values which match the record open on the form. It then attaches that page as a txt file to an email. Which is great.
What I would like it to do though is insert into the body text of the email the text from the report. Have looked as much as I can at the properties of DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport but cannot achieve this myself.
What I have is pretty much this:
Code:DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "Your matching details this week", acFormatTXT, Me!PersonEmail, , , "Details this week " & Date, "Please see the attached text file for details this week which match your selection criteria.", False
How can I make the text appear within the email body?
I'm using Access 2010's DoCmd.OutputTo in VBA to export reports to PDF. The "look and feel" of the PDFs are very important, as they will be distributed to clients of my company. I'm using special corporate fonts that are legally licensed for embedding as a subset. Two are .ttf (TrueType) and two are .otf (OpenType) fonts. The ttf fonts embed fine; the otf fonts do not, and the PDF viewer substitutes something it thinks is close (but really isn't). In the properties of the fonts in Windows Control Panel, the embedding properties are exactly the same for both.
Any way to force the fonts to embed? or any other workaround? Also, is there any way to edit-protect PDFs with VBA code? Or apply any other type of PDF security such as requiring a password to open?
I have a database in which i have a table imagemaster including fields as id,name,image(attachment)
Now I have a form on which image name is there on label
I have an imagecontrol on the form with no picture at start
I use dlookup function on formload event which pull image from the imagemaster table.
When my form is loaded it show ( can't open the file 1.png ) which is exactly the file from the table that i want to open. It means it goes right there to the source but cannot open that or embed that into my image control.
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.
Hello fellow users,
Just a quick note, i would like to know if anybody has come across any good internet site for download of icons ideally free ones.

View 2 Replies View Relatedhello guys,
firstly thanks to all the guys here without whose help, I would not have been able to finish my database. However, there remains one question to which I havent found a satisfactory answer. I have checked through all the threads here.
I have made an .mde for my application and I want to customize my application icon to my company icon. The DB by default shows the access icon which I would like to change.
The threads here deal with issues of changing the desktop shortcut icon or changing the icon for forms. These threads do not address the problem I am facing.
I want the icon to be changed from access icon to a customized icon.
I am using MS access 97.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. If there is a thread which I may have overlooked, plz point me out.
Thanks in advance
FXP.
Hi, this is my first message on this forum ;)!
I have a little problem with my Access 2000 (with 2003 too on another compuer), in fact when I put an icon on a page of my Tab Control, the background of that icon is white and not transparent (the file I use is an "ico" file and so it HAS a transparent background, anyway I treid all the possible file types); the strange thing is that when I put an icon on a button, the icon is shown properly. Here is an image of my problem:

I'm working on a user's database that needs some cleaning up; however, when I go into the "View" menu, the option to use the Toolbar is greyed out and I therefore can't utilize the Toolbar.
What do I have to do in order to have use of the Toolbar?
Thanks in advance.
when a toggle button object is selected on a form, it becomes ghosted. What property is changed? I want to reset all the other toggle button images when a new one is selected.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Access database split into FE/BE. For the front end, each user has his own directory on the lan. The directory is named with the UserName.
I've created an installation program in Access. It basically installs the icon on the user's desktop using Environ("UserName"). It also installs an Excel file the program needs on the hard drive.
Here's the problem...Right now, the installation program grabs the shortcut off the lan and installs it, but that shortcut has one user's UserName hard coded as the target. That one piece of information needs to change for each person. Is there a way for the program to modify the target based on the username of the person running the installation program? Without this piece, I need to visit every user after he runs the installation program and modify the properties of the new icon to point to his specific directory.
Thanks for any help you can provide!!
I can't hide the database window...but when I take out the application icon, I can hide the database window.

A problem I have seen a couple times has come up again... Wondering if anyone knows why this happens?
This is always with a split DB.... Using "Remote Access"..... The user signs on, a shortcut to the Frontend of the application is there...... But when clicked... nothing.
I personally did not load this one onto the clients server, but I believe the administrator has done this to use a bit of group security abilities. I think he has put the Frontend in their "Documents" folder and then puts a shortcut to the frontend on their remote desktop (Server)....... But time after time it loses the path to the frontend....or maybe doesn't recognize that it is an mdb file....Not sure. Anyone had this come up before??
I read some solutions to replacing a default Access icon for forms. However, I was wondering if there is a simple solutioin to removing them all together without causing an error?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi Everyone,
I hope someone can help.
I have a form with a combo boxes and a table with relevant list and additional field, fldDefaultDrive (Yes/No Field).
Currently in order to set the default value, I have used the following code for each default;
Private Sub Form_Load()
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """D"""
End Sub
However, I want users to be able to go into the table and change the default value if thier CD player default Drive is anything but D: Drive. I have tried to replace the D above with an SQL statement but with no success.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Drivename As String
Drivename = SELECT tblMediaDrive.fldDrivename FROM tblMediaDrive WHERE (((tblMediaDrive.fldDefaultDrive)=-1));
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """Drivename"""
End Sub
This is definetly not working, can anybody help, I have a feeling it is syntax but not sure where? :confused:

Hello all...Happy New Year!!
I have obtained some VB code shown below which adds an icon to the windows task bar as I intend to put some additional code behind this that displays messages near the clock when something happens in the database.
The problem I have is that the code does add an icon but the icon is literally blank. i.e. it makes an additional icon space but does not display any picture.
The code is not actually for VBA so I need to tweak it. I am struggling with telling it which icon to display. Does anyone know how to refer to the application icon using code??
The code I am working on is: (there is also a module but I will post this if you need it.)
-------------------------------
Private Sub AddTrayIcon()
Dim nid As NOTIFYICONDATA
' nid.cdSize is always Len(nid)
nid.cbSize = Len(nid)
' Parent window - this is the window that will process the icon events
nid.hWnd = frmSystray.hWnd
' Icon identifier
nid.uID = 0
' We want to receive messages, show the icon and have a tooltip
nid.uFlags = NIF_MESSAGE Or NIF_ICON Or NIF_TIP
' The message we will receive on an icon event
nid.uCallbackMessage = 1024
' The icon to display
nid.hIcon = frmSystray.Icon
' Our tooltip
nid.szTip = "Always terminate the tooltip with vbNullChar" & vbNullChar
' Add the icon to the System Tray
Shell_NotifyIconA NIM_ADD, nid
' Prevent further adding
cmdAddIcon.Enabled = False
End Sub
Private Sub cmdAddIcon_Click()
AddTrayIcon
End Sub
-------------------------
This is the code that is the problem. I dont think VBA has this function so I need to tell it where to find the .ico file I use for my database.
Thanks folks.
I don't know if this is the right place to post this but here goes.
How do you display an icon or image in a field in a subform in Access2003?
I tried inserting an image into a field with its data type set to OLE Object.
This doesn't work. I insert a bitmap or icon file (*.ico) into the table. When I open up the subform the field displays the word "Package" for Bitmap image".
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you :D
