Images & MS Word
Apr 13, 2007
To queries here:
Database is the MS Contacts Template with minor adjustments.
1. Trying to insert a link to an image using a bound OLE object in my form. Now I've got it top work. However, the link appears normal size in the centre of the object box. Problem is when I resize the oject box so that llink text just fits fine. The text resizes with the box and you need a microscope to read it.
2. I want to be able to cerate merged letter but I cant select Tools>Merge it with MS word fro some reason (i've aslo tried with with DB's we use in work with same problem) but publish with Word is available.:confused:
I am by no means an expert with Access so please, please post replies in lamens terms.
Thanks,
Marc

I am building a database for my job. I am trying to find a way that I can mail merge an Image that store in Access to a Word document. I tried doing it by creating a field in Access for the picture and its field type was set to OLE Object and I placed the merge field in its appropriate area in Word. When I go to merge it, its comes up with a message that says "Long Integer or Binary Number". If anyone has an idea as to how I can make this happen....please let me know, your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I need to know if exist the system in Access 2007 to output a report in word document including images. Normally the output is "*.rtf", with a quite good quality but due to the file type it doesn't include the pictures.

My end goal is to populate a pre-existing table in an MS Word document with records from a query. The easiest way I've found (through scouring the internet) is to start with the code below (ran during OnClick() even in Access) to get the table the same size as the recordset:
Code:
Dim wDoc As Word.Document
Dim wTable As Word.Table
Dim wCell As Word.Cell
Set wDoc = appWord.Documents.Add(strDocLoc)
wDoc.Visible = True
[Code] ....
The code will shrink the table down just fine if the table has more rows than the recordset +1 (for header column). My hangup with this is the last line ("Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5") isn't executing; rows are not being added to the table. I get no errors -- it just does nothing. I set it as "Selection.InsertRowsBelow 5" arbitrarily just to see if it would even add rows, and sure enough it's not.

I have a table that is linked to SQL server
In this table I have a field that has thepath to an image
C:TempImagexxx.pdf
What I want to do is have a dropdown that the user can select a Notice Number and then have its image pop up in the form.
I have a Notice Number field and a Path field.
Do I create a Query to query the two fields.
Create a Drop Down box and assign the query to the drop down box.
But then how do I get the image to popup...and in what and unbound object frame?
Any help would be apprecaited
THanks

Hello,
I did a cursory search of the forum and didn't find anything (probably more my search than the content). I also think I know the answer to this, but I want to clear it up once and for all.
Is it true that I cannot insert an image into an Access Table in a way that it treats the image like data (e.g., it comes up on reports as entered).
If so, and I suspect it is so, what would be the best way to associate a row with a certain image in Access? Here's what I'm hoping to do: I have a list of projects and all of them have a status. Right now the "status" column includes the text "Green," "Yellow," or "Red." I would rather have this text display as green, yellow, or red color rather than text. Is this possible?
Thank you!! :D

Hi there,
I have a "minor" problem which most of you will probably have a laugh about :eek:
I have set up my Table / Form to have an image for each "item".
Now...when I add the image, it does not show up as the thumbnail JPG. It only appears as the image name.
So instead of seeing a picture, I see 1.jopg (example)
Can anyone help me with a correct hint?
Much appreciated
Chris

Before you ask, yes I did search, but no it didn't help...
OK, database is storing members, so each member record needs to have a picture of them. I've made a field in the members table for the path of the image. I've followed the example here - http://www.utteraccess.com/candace/candace/picture/picture.zip , but I keep getting the error 'You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus.' When I've tried to set the focus to it I get the error '# can't move the focus to the control MemberImage.'
What am I doing wrong?

Dear All:
I have created a report in access 2000. What I wish to do is insert a signature on this report and as I scroll through the report, the signatures change. The fields on the report are name, major and dean.
The signatures reside on the "c" drive on the computer. This report is based on a query. I wish to link the signatures to a specific field(dean) so as I scroll through the report the signatures changes with the report.
I have searched the forums for a solution, but I am having difficulty.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Many thanks,
Regards,
Dion

Is it possible to efficiently store images in an Access database without having to install custom COM files and the like on your server?
I know it's possible to store them using OLE objects but I've heard this adds a significant amount of data to the image when storing. Is this correct?
Does anyone know how I could get around this?
I'm interfacing the DB via the web, unfortunately I have to use an access DB for the task and can't tinker with the server.
Many Thanks,
Richard

Hello,
I am trying to add a normal JPEG image to an Access 2003 form through the "Image" control.
The problem is that when I browse for images , it does not show any JPEG images, but only BMP and images of other 3-4 formats - The JPEG format doesn't exist there. When I try to add a JPEG through "all-files" it gives me an error message - "does not support this format".
There is not problem viewing JPEG images on WinWord or other programs.
Has anyone heard of such a problem and its solution?
Thank you
Gabi

Could anyone help please.
I am a total novice with MS Access (2002) and coding so I am trying to learn by adapting the Northwind sample.
So far, one thing has completely stumped me and that is controlling images. I understand the benefits/pitfalls of storing images in the database and have concluded that it will suit me better to link my images via a text field.
What I am trying to do is add multiple images to the Northwind Employee Form. I have followed the help file and I can get additional images to display on the form, but I can not get the additional images to change for each record. The MS Access help only covers having a single image per record. I've concluded (right or wrong) that the Event Procedure is where I need to be experimenting, but I've had no luck so far.
Can anyone tell me if I can modify the Event Procedure in the Northwinds Employee sample to cope with multiple images, or is there another way?
Excuse me if any of my terminology is wrong... I really am new to this.
Thanks for any advice.

How would you tie tiff images to an access database. for example. if I have a tiff image of an invoice, i would want the customer to be able to search for an invoice using information about the image, like invoice #, cutomer #, purchase price, etc.

Hi there,
I got myself pretty much backed into a corner here. I am trying to add images to records. For example, in my database there will be certificates scanned and put on each specific record. I have been searching high and low and found that the OLE object tool will allow me to do this. However, the only method I've found was to right click right in the table and selecting add object. I'm trying to find a more userfriendly method. I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!

I can not make the link thing work, and now I cannot even make it work with the images being stored in the database. My DB is very simple, and I am attaching it, along with my Images folder and a couple images. If ANYONE can figure out my problem and suggest how to fix it I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank You,
Bill

Does anyone have a recommended way to deal with images (ie. linked to file, OLE object embedded, others I'm not aware of)???
I have a report which summarizes the history of a project. In this report I have a subreport which has task information. As a user enters task information they have the option of associating pictures with the task (ie. prototypes, design images, test setup, etc).
So my data structure is based on:
- many projects
- each project can have many tasks
- each task can have many pictures
My report for each project lists some typical project information and a subreport shows the task details associated with that project along with as many images that are associated with it.
My current system links to files on a network to avoid database size. This works well for storage and form use, until I try to print or preview a report. Then some of my pictures don't show up and I get a message that says images may be too large. My report could conceivably have up to 100 images, but I'm images stop showing up when I have around 15-20 pictures. Pictures files are typically 300 KB.
Is there a better way to show images on a report?????
