Morning everyone,
I have a really persistant problem with my database whereby whenever I click on a hyperlink (in the database) to a Jpeg file it will display an error message, "unknown file format" then open the file as normal. The access windows then crash.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so doe anyone have a solution or a way round it!?
Any help much appreciated, have a good day :)

Hi everyone.
I have a problem displaying jpg files in a bounded image object.
After connecting Access 03 with ODBC to a SQL Server DB (SQLSDB) I wanted to display the image content of a table (jpg files) in Access. Instead of images Access returns the image filename.
After installing Microsoft Converter Pack and Photo Edit from an old Office XP Edition I was able to display jpg in unbounded image objects and simple image objects, but still the problem with the bounded image object witch contain the jpg files remains.
Any Suggestions ???
Thanks for your time
i have thousands of data records with hyperlinks that are correct. Each data record shows the actual link (google.com, foxnews.com, espn.com, etc.). However, i want to change all of the records to just say "link" instead of saying espn.com, etc. How can i do this automatically without having to manually right click, edit, and changing the text to display?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am working on a database with two main tables: One table that is linked in from another database, and another table contains addresses to the location of jpegs that correspond with the records in the linked table. (Every record does not have corresponding jpeg, only some of them do.) The way the forms are currently set up, there is a main form and a subform. The main form contains only a combo box where the user can choose a record. The subform shows the rest of the information pertaining to the record, including the jpeg. The problem is that all the other information changes when the user chooses a different record - except for the jpeg, it stays the same. The code to pull the jpeg into the form works when under the form load procedure, but the jpegs do not change when a different record is selected from the combo box on the form. I tried to do this a straight forward way, and then I tried using the RaiseEvent command, but nothing seems to work. I have a relationship b/t the 2 connecting fields, and I have tried all 3 join types. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIt 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

I am inserting a logo in jpeg format to a report. unfortunately the logo comes in very large. the frame around the logo can be adjusted but the image does not; it remains large.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a function that will allow me to encrypt/decrypt single image files as and when required. I have built my own simple one to encrypt a string that will be stored in a filename as all the ones I found created unusable filenames.
However I don't know where to start with the image file encryption.
(Any better way to encrypt a string that can be used in a file name that would be great too. My method is a bit basic).
I have created a database for a church cemetery. It contains the usual names, birthrates deaths, etc.... I have also created a map of the cemetery in PDF format with the lot number highlighted which is assigned to a particular record. I did the same in excel with a layout of the lot and a JPEG picture of the grave marker. In my table I created Three columns - Site Plan, Lot Plan, and Grave marker. I insert the specific site plan, lot plan, and jpeg picture using the "insert object" in the table. On my form after a search, I have created three buttons.. Site Plan, Lot Plan & Grave Marker.
I have looked and experimented trying to assign these command buttons to open these files on the form. I don't have any experience with macros or VB code.
I have created a very simple code to fill automaticly an hyperlink field when a text box is updated on a form:
Me.txtHyperlink = "F:DataCPPCPP PDF" & [TxtPipeSize] & "" & [DrawingFile] & "" & [PartNumber] & ".sht" & [TxtSheetNo] & ".Rev" & [TxtRevNo] & ".pdf"
TxtHyperlink is bound to the hyperlink field, when the code is executed the Hyperlink field is filled with the right address. but I think the code just fill the text to display "parameter" of the hyperlink field and not the actual adddress.
what should I do to get the result of the function to be saved as the Hyperlink address?
Hey guys.
I am VERY new to Access, and trying to learn as fast as I can, but I have no idea how to do this.
I have a database, brand new, it will eventually be holding hundreds of docs. Anyway, we have it as a document naming machine. We insert all the data associated with our document, it stores it and gives us a name for the doc, we then save that doc as a pdf with the name given.
After this, we are going to put all the documents in one central folder on our network drive, as follows:
F:FolderAccessDocuments*.pdf
So, what I need is to create an automative hyperlink creater, that will take our document name once created, put it on the end of the "F:FolderAccessDocuments" and have the hyperlink sitting there ready to go.
One more thing, I need to be able to change my Initial Drive Directory (from "F" to "E") at any point in time, and the switch would have to go through and change every hyperlink.
If anyone can help with any part of this problem, I would appericiate it.
Thanks Guys!

Hi

I have a Hyperlink field (can be a text field if necessary) that is intended to open the document listed in the field. I have all of these documents stored on a server and I have set up another field that contains the path to the server directory. So, at the time I click on the document link, I want to concatenate the path with the document name, so I can open the file. This will enable me to not have to type the full path everytime I enter a new document name.
I tried setting up the field as a text field and I can concatenate the path and document name, but then I cannot open the file. I want to be able to pass the concatenated variable to the Windows OS and have it launch the document, regardless of the file type.
Any thoughts?
I have been searching the forums and all I could find was how to hyperlink to outside url such as www.google.com and likewise.
I am looking for some kind of code or a direction that will help me hyperlink between records in my form.. best method probably would be using an ID number.
Any ideas?
Hello. New to this, but am creating a hyperlink in a new form. Using Edit Hyperlink, I direct the program to open a PDF format file. All seems fine, the path is relative to the main file, (although it does display %20 between all separate words, why?), but when I click on it, the warning :
"No prgram is registered to open this file". This file itself is fine, and opens happily when dble clicked. The hyperlink works fine when opening a Doc file. Help as I need this working...
I want to have a hyperlink on my form, that when clicked it will open a specified webpage. It will be the same hyperlink every time so doesn't need to be stored in the database.
How do I do this?
I have an unbound field txtMyField which I want to fill with a hyperlink after entering data in another field. So I put the Is Hyperlink setting to yes, and some code to populate the field. But I cannot click the link. It is just like text.
How can I amend this so that it is clickable?
Thanks,
Dave
I am about to be tasked to redesign a database which is a total dogs dinner.
Everything is wrong basically
I can handle that but there are also some 11000 hyperlinks
Some are relative and some have full path specified, However all have display text.
Is there a way that I can access the specified path and dump this into a text field.
Thought is to create text field alongside the hyperlink field, dump the text value of the hyperlink and I can then manipulate the hyperlink text as I wish.
Is there a function like
Hyperlink_Field.Path
so in an update query I could update the text field to Hyperlink_Field.Path

I have a form with a Command button. i have a text box also which is
bound to my
Button. i have created a standard module and created an onclick event
for my button
which is something like this ( if a user clicks on the button it will
give an option
to user to add a file. The Path of that file will be copied to the
textbox which is associated
to my control or button.) i changed the data type also for my textbox
to
Hyperlink so then
when a user clicks on that path which is in the textbox it will
automatically open that document. Well for
some reason it is not working. any
help or suggestions will be really appreciated.
Thanks
Hello - thanks in advance.
I have buttons that link to external WORD and EXCEL files with the hyperlink property. I also use the Application.FollowHyperlink method to open some files.
I find that files with the .txt extension produce a pop up warning, that hyperlinks are potentially unsafe, do I really want to open the file.
If I click YES then the file opens.
It is not consistant. .xls files open without the warning, but .csv files do produce the warning, even though both open in Excel.
I've set the macro-->security option to LOW.
I want to get rid of those warnings if I can.
I've tried docmd.setwarnings false also.
Any idea?
Hi, I think this is only my second post (found i have made a few, lol) in over a year because I can usually find what im after on this site or I just hack stuff together till it works, lol.Anyway my question:How can I download a hyperlink (its an excel spreadsheet, CSV file to be exact i believe) to a certain place and name?I wish to do this roughly once a day for about 10-14 files. then these will be imported to the database. but first thing will be a fairly automated downloader if possible.any third party software will be fine but id rather have access do it with a code behind a button etc. Thankyou for any/all suggestions.
View 14 Replies View RelatedSorry if this is a basic stupid question but I am new to access and developing a database for my company while I learn access from a book. I am using hyperlink in a table to allow quick access to job folders on our network, but everytime I click the hyperlink it uses windows explorer to open the folder and I would like to avoid this by having the folder opened in a new window, by its self. Windows Explorer opens the door too many mistakes happening so I want my user to see the folder they need to and that is all. I hope that explains it well enough. I greatly appreciate any help.
