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'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??
Is there any way to get rid of this message?
I am running an Access 2003 mde file across an intranet and want to remove this error so the users do not have to contend with it.
The users are going to gain access to the file via link on the "home" page.
I know this is an issue with IE but I only have limited authority so any "backdoor" way of getting rid of this would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks

In an access table I have hyperlinks to various documents mainly word docs. I have recently added a Publisher doc and when I H/L to it it will open the application but not the doco.
Obviously Publisher behaves differently than Word in this regard.
I do need the link to open the doc. Is there a way around this please?
Thanks

I have a list of publishers for software titles in a table.
1=Adobe
2=Macromedia
and so on and so forth.
I have a form that pulls the publisher name and displays it, and it used to display correctly with the NAME but now all of a sudden it's displaying the publisher number "1" instead of "Adobe"
what's going on?
I'm currently using the following to edit a publisher document using access VBA.
Code:
For Each pubShape In pubDoc.Pages(1).Shapes
If pubShape.HasTextFrame Then
If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 440" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item1
If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 441" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item2
If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 442" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item3
If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 443" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item4
If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 444" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item5
If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 445" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item6
If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 446" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item7
If pubShape.Name = "Text Box 447" Then pubShape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = Item8
End If
Next
Obviously there are a lot of shapes/boxes etc in the document and this code is very inefficient and takes a few moments to complete. Is there a way to directly reference a text box and change its value. For word I have been using bookmarks but this doesn't seem to work with publisher.
I'm looking for something like pubshape.Value("text Box 440") = Item1 but cannot find the correct syntax.
In 2007 how do you add a site or publisher to your trusted list.

I work in three different databases, but for one of them (the main company db), if I right clicked the pinned Access program on the taskbar and click the pinned database, it does nothing if someone else has the file open already. If the file isn't open, it'll pop up with an "Unknown publisher" warning (new, never happened before this), but it'll open the file. If someone has the database open, it doesn't flicker or even try, it just does nothing.
I am able to open Access and click on the database in the "Recent files" and have it open that way. I don't know what to troubleshoot, its like it's not seeing the file, but I can go to the properties on the pinned db and it shows the correct file location. I'm the only one having this issue, the other users here can right click the pinned program and open the file like normal.
I've rebooted my computer; unpinned and removed from list; compacted and repaired; nothing is making a difference.
Have can I apply individual photo's to members records.
One photo for the one person in each record.

7112 John
2322 Lewis
3553 Peter
1222 John
and photos are labelled 7112.jpg, 2322.jpg...
How can I do this?? THANKS!!

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

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?
Hi all,
Our company is currently rolling out an SP2 update to all of our PC's and this problem has reared its head on all of the updated PC's so far.
Basically when someone opens a database from a shared drive, they get an error stating that the file was made by an unknown publisher (seems to be a security warning), they click ok and then can open the file fine.
However, once someone is in the database, if anyone else tries to open it on an SP2 machine, nothing happens, the double click the file and it refuses to open. If they open Access, then click file>open and navigate to the file, they can open it. They just can't double click the file.
People using the SP1 machines can open the database with no problems whether someone is already in the file or not.
I'm guessing this is something to dow tih the SP2 security measures.
To try to sort it out, I made myself a self signed digital ceritificate and signed my macros, thinking that once the macros were signed, it would then realise who had published the file.
The only thing this does is brings up a second notice (after the initial publisher message) which gives you the option to trust content from my signature. Once this has been done once, there's no need to keep trusting it but the publisher message still comes up.
I went into the database properties and under the custom tab changed the "publisher" value to my name "Rob Jones". This still didn't work and when the database is opened it still says it's an unknown publisher.
Does anyone know how to either turn off this check or publish a database?? I've tried google / MS but can't find anything on the subject.
Cheers,
Rob.
