Images Ok In Forms But Not In Reports
Apr 11, 2015
I have an INVENTORY database for work that I created. It got up to about 1 GB in file size and it stopped letting me add images (about 5000 so far; 10000 more need to be added). I was loading them (attachments) directly into the database. Obviously that was the wrong thing to do.
So I went back into the database to delete the images / attachments columns in my tables as well as change my many forms and tons of reports to reflect the table's text field for the link on my hard drive to each image (using the control source via property sheet to view each image in both forms and reports). After about 800 links, the images do show up on the forms okay, but now only sporadically show up in reports; in any view mode and with printing. This is very frustrating.
Is this a MS glitch? A memory issue? How can this be fixed? I really do not want to break my database into many smaller databases; it's just not not logical.Image type makes no difference whether it shows up or not; 99% jpg though.
PS - the other downfall I seem to be having is that the image quality = very poor viewing on screen and very bad printing; though when I used the attachments for the images = crystal clear viewing and printing.

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 have a Report containing a sub-report which holds the pictures. Typically there are 3-4 pictures per A4 page and 2-3 pages, so not millions, but for some reason whenever I load I get between 1-3 pictures a page and the rest show as blank. I can repeatedly reload time after time and get a seemingly random number of successful images.
The original images are on a network drive (but connectivity is good). They are high quality images but the load time isn't that bad (Is there a 'normal' load time for these things?) I wonder if it's just timing out after the first X pictures..

Access 2007
Windows Vista
GOAL: Display linked images in image control, and to ultimately to export reports to pdf to share with family by email or to print
ERROR: There isnt enough free memory to update the display. Close unneeded programs and try again.
Ive created a DB for family heirlooms and as part of this Ive included images. Ive done this by storing the filename of the picture as text in the table tblPicture with a one to many relationship to the tblItem. This allows for many pictures of the item itself. I wanted to be able to show the most represent able photo of each item and added a checkbox titled primary picture to the tblPicture. I use this value in the querys to filter out all but one image per record.
I've added around 450 items to date, many of which have multiple pictures. I have started to run into some memory trouble now when running a few query driven reports.
I have stored only the file name in a text field in a table of the DB. I store all of my images in an images folder that is relative and constant to the DB location. I use code to display the images on the form with no problems (yet).
For displaying images on my reports,
1. I check to see if the record has an image path stored
2. If not I set the image control on the report to nothing
3. If there is a relative path stored I collect the DB path, and add the relative path and set the image control to that concatenated path
Code:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Dim strDBPath As String
Dim strRelativePath As String
Dim strPath As String
[code]...
Lastly, I have a few different pre-built reports that generate any number of records. I can select by the original owner of the item. If that person has only a few items to their name I have no problems.how can I set up my report to display my reports with images to avoid the lack of memory. Is using the image control and setting the picture property in code wrong?

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

I am building a database in Access 2007 that needs currently includes images and excel files as embedded OLEs. I am aware this is not ideal, but I can't change my employer's mind.
I've been looking in to the Attachment data type but am having trouble deciding if it will work as a substitute for my purposes. I know a variety of image file types can be displayed inside Access on forms and reports, but I can't find anything about displaying the contents of an excel sheet. I read something about using Active X controls to display .pdf images - is there anything similar for Excel?

I create several reports for several different companies. Report data is the same but the report header data changes based on the company selected. All works well until I attempted to add their individual logos. I have tried many of the suggested methods both here and elsewhere to set the image path in Image.picture and image.control source. But I get "windows can't open file". Access 2010 on Windows10 insists on using the insert picture window when i select an image control. There is a drop down in the property sheet. I've gotten it to work a couple times but then its gone after restart.
The header data comes from a table [Company] which has the fields - name, addr, phone, path to image, and active(yes/no)

I'm producing PDF reports in a VBA routine in Access through the DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport.
The routine works great, however i have now a new requirement and i need to change the report header so to if Country X is selected in a drop-down menu, then only image X is shown on the report header; if country Y is selected then only image Y is shown on report header.
I was simply thinking to make this through the "visible" option of the image, however it doesn't work because i get error "report must be open".

To make this easier to expalin. record one is a yes or no value record two is an image value that could be image one or image 2. I tried storing the images in a seperate table. Could someone help with making this work with vb code.
Thanks Paul

Hi all...
Does it make a big differance in the size of your database if you have all the images in the forms and reports linked instead of embedded? I have about 15 reports all with graphics and and about 7 forms with graphics also... Just wondering if it would make a big difference if after I split the database and create a folder with the current graphics and just link them all.. Or would that be a waste of time...?
Thanks

But how to link images with the form? Is it enough to give in properties control element source images column name? It seems like it is not.

I have several text boxes which I can populate using the DLookup.I have images I want to display for individual records.I use a search (textbox) to input client name and this populates all other textboxes. I am trying to get the relevant image to display also using this search box. I have also disabled record selectors just tidy up the form. I have tried coding the image control on the AfterUpdate event of the search box. Full path to images are stored as JPG in my ClientTable not as OLE.

Am trying to display images on a form in a split database. I add the attachment field to the associated form's table and add the attachment control to the form but cannot get the image(s) to display on the form (the control remains blank). I can add the image(s) in table view (and display them) but double clicking on the form control also does nothing.
I think I must be doing at least the basics correctly as if I try the same thing to an earlier, non-split version of the database, all works as expected.Are there additional steps required to do this thing in a split database?

I have a database of high-school football players, and I am looking to print out single page reports (or forms) that will show detail from several tables and queries. This will act as their resume when they visit schools on recruiting visits. The reason for needing query items, is that I have developed queries that return the most up to date height, weight, 40 time etc., and that single most up to date number is what should print, not the entire table. When I try to build a report it will let me bring in multiple tables, but not queries.

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.

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
