Images In Access, Possible?
Oct 12, 2005
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

Which is a more robust approach when designing an Access database in regards to storing images, such as TIFFs. Is it better to store the images in each data record as necessary or is it better to just store a path in the database that points to a location of where the image resides (on a hard drive somewhere for instance.)

I've read that Access 2003 does not support Tiff images anymore. I need to see a document or Website that indicates this so I can back up an arguement. I've seen a little regarding this matter but nothing solid. Can anyone help?
Thank in Advance

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

Ok. So I have learned my lesson on saving images into an Access DB. Now I'm using VBA (another good learning experince) to save the images back to a folder. I have a code working that will save the images but I need it to also rename the images after saving.
The section "MyFile = OldFile" needs to reference the rsChild Attachment file name...
Quote:
Private Sub Command859_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rsParent As DAO.Recordset2
Dim rsChild As DAO.Recordset2
[code]....

There are those builtin bmp images in access e.g. delete, edit, select, filter, etc etc. I am trying to access the location of these small bitmap images and use them for a web application i am creating. Do you know where they are located? I am searched with no luck.
Someone also sent me an access db, i'd like to reuse the buttons (same bitmap images: edit, delete) from this access db. Where do i go to extract the images?

I have an application in MS Access that contains some forms and reports. I want to be able to show pictures on the forms. So I am saving images on file system and storing links to those images in MS Access tables so that they can be retrieved and be shown on the forms. Can someone throw light on the effects of this approach on performance of the application (especially vis-a-vis the approach of storing images in the Access tables as OLE objects)?
Would appreciate if responses can be directed to my email-id Satya_Nadiminti@infosys.com
Thanks,
Satya

Having trouble using .JPG images in Access 2013 reports? I inserted some images (of arrows) onto a label report. Since then, I've had problems with my DB becoming corrupted or "unstable". I can give more detail if wanted, but my main question is do y'all recommend using images in reports and forms. If so, what format?

I am setting up a database with an image linked to each record. I have installed Photo Editor as required to display jpeg files. However, when I try to insert object in the table field, Photo Editor does not appear as an option under 'Object Type'. How can I use Photo Editor as my OLE server to display jpegs? Or, can someone suggest a better way to display images on forms? I'm a newbie, so although I'll try more advanced programming if required, I will need quite detailed step-by-step instructions :)
Thanks!

It may seem a really silly question but is there any restrictions as to the file types that can be stored in an Access DB.
I havent used Access in a while, but have been asked by a friend to create a simple DB holding info about cars he is selling, he only wants to hold thumbnail images of the cars so I can either link or embed the pics! However if I try to link or embed a jpeg image nothing appears in the bound object frame except for the image title i.e. bmw325i.jpg if I do exactly the same with a bitmap image the pic is displayed???
The only other difference I have noticed is that in table view of the relevant table a bitmap appears as Bitmap Image whereas a JPEG appears as Package????
Any ideas
Thanks in advance
Simon

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

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

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

I have a field in my table that has a path to an image.
I was wondering if there was a way to get the image to show up on a report...
I have all the other fields formated with some text...would be nice to put the image on the bottom of the form.
Thoughts?
Thanks

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.
