I want to have the photo of each person in a REPORT.
PEOPLE table has as primary key an ID, and photos are named ID.jpg. For example:
ID NAME
-----------------
7112 John
2322 Lewis
3553 Peter
1222 John
and photos are labelled 7112.jpg, 2322.jpg...
How can I do this?? THANKS!!

Any Help would be fantastic!

I've linked about 10 photos in my database and the size of it has swelled to alarming proportions. I linked rather than embed to keep the size down but it has still grown quite sizeably.
any ideas as to how I can overcome this kind of growth??
I am a newbie in db creation..what I would like to accompish is this
I frontpage I have created a web site within the web I would liek to disply images similar to the built in display result in FP
but would rather havea DB either imbedded photos or external
photo page
table 2 cells
cell 1 large photo (created a iframe)
cell 2 table 2 cell x 6 cell (total of 12 thumbs
easiest enough to place the thumnails into the second column and edit the image to point to the large image and direct the large image to display in T1 (iframe) works like a charm
however with over 100 images I need an easier way to auto add the thumbnails and large photo to each page
my question
how do I create a DB that either contails both thum and image or asscess from folder...and ultimaley display into front page as per above
yes I ahve seach high and wide which is why I am here..seeing if any of you Access gurus can assist me
thanks in advance

Hi,
I've got some id card templates in publisher than i want to merge in access.
i can merge the text details into access but i dont know how to link the photos. should i store the file path of the image in the database or should i embed the file.
would this work with publisher or do i need to use some code?
any help on this would be appriciated as i have no experience with pictures in access.
Thanks
I'm not brilliant at using MS Access - can't use the VBA codes or anything like that.
basically, I want to set up a database of photogrpahs where you store thephotograph in Access, and then run a query to search for specific photos, which brings up a form showing the picture.
I seem to be OK at doing all of this so far except I can't get the photo to appear in the form - it just displays a link which you double click on to get to the photo.
I've tried to look up how to sort this on the web but don't understand the way people speak about access :confused:
can anyone help???
I've got a database that tracks name/address/phone, etc for a large group of people. I've recently added the ability to include a person's photo on the forms and reports. I've done that by saving the photos with the naming convention of [firstname]_[lastname].jpg and then using VBA, the database checks to see if there is a file with the corresponding name of the record and displays the picture if so.
It works very well, but I can see where I would have some problems in the future. For example, if someone gets married and changes their name, the corresponding photo must also be renamed to display properly. And if there are any misspellings, that becomes a problem. Also, if James decides he wants to go by Jim, the photo would not be displayed, either.
I'm wondering if anyone has any other ideas on how I might accomplish my goal. I know I could name the photo based on the record ID, but that's not a good option, since I'll be handling the photos, while someone else will be inputting the contact details. So I won't know the recordID easily.
Is there some way to have another field in each record that points to the corresponding photo? Then if James goes by Jim, his first name can be changed, but the corresponding picture name could remain the same.
Is there some great idea that I'm missing that would make this process much simpler and scalable? Or do I just have to deal with the maintenance issues?
Thanks.
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
Hi.
How can I select a name from a drop-down box and display the corresponding student's photo that is stored as a JPEG?
Thanks.
Access 2003, Win XP Pro
I have tried to find information on how to do this but everything I try fails.
I have a form on which I want to display JPG photos which are stored in a folder called FCP. The path to each photo is stored in the database table. Each record will have one photo only and the path looks something like this:
C:Documents and SettingsBKALProjectLRFCP4.jpg
Can someone tell me exactly how to design a form picture field that will display the relevant photo?
Thanks!
I have created a profiling database for my school. Each student can access their own form via the school's admission number - which I use as the primary key for most of the tables on the form. One section of the form shows a photo of the student. I take this photo from the school's SIMS photo file which had all the children's photos. Each photo in the file uses the school's admission number as its filename (for example 000358.jpg ).
I want to update the photos in my table by using a macro or piece of CBA code. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this. When I set the database up I did each photo one at a time, so it took several hours.
I have created a tabel in access 2003 which has information about employees and i have to put even their photos as records so i can see them in a report that i have created too.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have created a DB to store my students records, eg: Student Number, English Name, Chinese Name, Birthdate, Class Number, Age, and exam scores, I also have a photo frame to display the students photo.
In the data sheet I have an ole object field where I add the photos, the thing is it means I need to manually add this to the data sheet, whereas I can add all the other details directly from the form "Add New Record" and also search, delete or edit all from the form.
I have searched and searched but I cannot find any info that accurately explains how I may add the photos to the c where I have placed a button "Add Photo". I assume I need to create a macro and assign it to the button (on click) then this would need to open a search file location box where I can find the photo and select it to be added to the file.
The point is I wish to be able to do all the adding, deleting and editing from within the form and not have to enter into the data sheet at all.
I am using Office 2010
With XP photo linked in Access would open from Access in my default photo viewer. With Win 7 they only open in EI.
How do I fix Access in Win 7 so the links open in my default photo viewer like they did in XP?
How can I link multiple images from a folder on my drive to each record without making the database file huge?
Each record is a plant species. I want to link to photos of flower, seed, etc. See attached database example.
I would then like those images to appear on a report for each species. How would I go about doing this, if it is indeed possible?
A common tip on this forum to reduce a db FE is to create a new db and import in from the original. Easy. Now I have done this and on navigating through the new db have no trouble when new. I then put in the start up form and close it. On start up again I get the following message. "Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost". When trying to view any VBA coding the same message appears.
All tips or directions to other treads welcome.
Thanks
I imported a database designed several years ago into Access 2003, but all that I got was the tables. Is there a way to get the reports, queries, forms, etc? Thank for all the help.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an xml from the powers that be in IT: can post it here if anyone wants, but it's quite big. Tried to import it into Access 2003, no joy. Than I realised that it it's almost certainly attribute-centric.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285329
And so I need to create a template to make it look normal. although they give an example on the microsoft page, it's bespoke to the xml they create from Northwind and i'm struggling to write a template from scratch.
The xml appears to have tables embedded and all sorts, it's not just a flat file structure....
can that be reversed out with a template?
Hi, I want to automatically import an .xml file into a table that i have in my .mdb. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?
If you could point me in the right direction that would also be great.
Thanx in advance...
I am trying to import into a table a very large text file that has information dumped into it every morning from a daily import.
I am building a database that is also using the same information but on a stand alone database and was curious to know if there is a way to link the txt file to a table so every morning that the new info is imported it will just automatically dump into the table.
I have filling this is not since it is a txt file and I will need to just setup a custom menu button that when pressed does the import into the table, but I was hoping it would be as simple as a link.
Thanks ahead of time.
I am importing from a spreadsheet. The column is formated as text.
In the design view of the Access table for the associated field it is showing text.
When it encounters a record that is all numbers and no letters it imports it as an exponent
i.e. 32986698 is imported as 3.29867e+007
What can I do to correct this?
Thanks

Hi all,
My boss and I were trying to import some data from a .txt file there is a deliberate mistake and we were trying to get a input mask/validation rule to stop that particular record
thanks,

I'm having trouble with a DB that I've been using for four years in a multi-user environment. (Windows XP; Access 2000; Novell Network) Started with one user as she got a new WinXP PC (had Win2K - not totally convinced that she didn't have the problem before the new PC); she wasn't able to do a keyword search - it would bring up every record, but other users were fine. Then, it started to do it on my PC as well (WinXP - even though I had my XP for a year longer), but other users are still fine. My code still looks fine, and apparently works for others.
So, thinking there may be some corruption going on, I decided to create a new DB and import in tables, queries, forms, reports, and modules. Only three of 20 forms show up as options to import and only a portion of the reports show up. All the tables and queries appear. When I go back to the "faulty" database, the forms are there and do work from my "menu form".
Then, I tried compacting the "faulty" database, but I don't get the message in the lower left saying it is compacting; the hourglass comes up, then the DB opens - the size stays the same. So, I don't think it is compacting.
Any ideas ????
Thanks - and I do appreciate this forum - has saved me alot of time over the years.
