I have a access DB for my employees with pictures. The main form displays their info and a picture as I scroll page to page. But I also have contact report that will show all info and picture. I am having difficulties linking the pictures from a seperate folder on my server.
View RepliesI have some code set up to automate scanning from access to a specific folder on the server. I have searched the web for different codes and have not come across anything that will scan an unknown amount of documents. The best I found was the code I am currently using, that will scan up to 10 documents separately, then convert these documents into 1 PDF. This is not ideal, however, because it would require the user to scan 1 document, wait, than scan another, wait, etc. Also, the code I am currently using will only scan from the glass, not the auto feeder, and I am unsure how to change this.

the attached zip file has a mockdown version of my database it should allow you to see my problem. The premise is to link a picture(s) to a serial number. There are the possiblities of having more then one picture per serial number. I am getting an error stating "Microsoft Office Access can't fine the form 'frmPicExample' referred to in a macro expression or Visual Basic code."
Can someone help to link the example pictures to the correct serial number. And the serial numbers that do not have a picture to read no picture for the serial number.
Thank You

hi guys,
i have 20 odd machines sharing the one access front end, however i find that i have to recompile the front end on some machines as the references dont match up. i'm assuming the office install is slightly different with the paths or something. there are just 3 machines that have this error but it is frustrating as i have to recompile and have 3 different copies of the one program.
is it possible to have all of my references stored on the server and they replace the current ones? i tried putting them in a folder and using the browse button but it only updated some references and not others. the obvious error i have with the 3 different ones is the trim function, it always throws an error where i use that.
thanks
We have a server that we use to run a Microsoft Access application. This application creates folders, subfolders and files on the server.Users are in 4 different offices. Each office has at least 3 computers. Some users also work from home.
Users creates file through word, or scanning a document or by saving an email on their local pc.My problem is that users need to be able to save a file to a specific folder on server.
Hi.. Junior access user here. Need help fast!
I created 2 tables. [General Info] & [Details]
[General Info] has 2 fields. Name(is a primary Key as well) & Organisation
[Details] has 4 fields. Primary Key, Name, No of products & Type
[Details] is a sub form for [General Info]
It is a one to many relationship. With Name from [General Info] linking to Name from [Details].
I can update via the table directly and [Details] links the name fields automatically. I created a form but the form just cannot register the field automatically and requires the user to type in the Name from [General Info].
I have attached the DB file. Pls help... your help is greatly appreciated!
I have a form with contact info, which also has a subform with other data on it. The subform is a continuous mode form. If I go to the "New" line (last line) of the continuous form, I can add information, and the records are linked via the customerID field on both the form and subform.
I want to have a button on that subform that says "New" that opens up a different form in a popup. I can do that part just fine, but when I try to enter data onto the popup form, the customerID field does not populate with the ID number of the person on the main form. It defaults to a value of "0".
So, is there a way to link the 2 forms like you can with forms and subforms? Or is there a way to have the customerID field in the popup form just populate based on the other form?
Not sure if this makes sense, but please help if you can. Thanks.
I have an historical database table that contains information relating to soldiers. Additionally I have many photographs, and other documents appertaining to these individual soldiers stored in folders on my PC hard drive and I would like ideally, to be able to have a link from my database to these other items, so that when I open a a soldiers record I am able to click on a link that will take me to a folder containing the photographs, letters and further documents relating to him.
However this is where I am at a loss as to how to proceed, and how I could have this facility, I run Access 2007 by the way.
Strewth didn't think I was ever going to work with Access again, but I am, so here comes a table link question for you.
Got an access xp FE linking to SQL server via a DSN file. All linked up fine, however the tables in access have been given a 'dbo_' prefix to the original table name in SQL server. :rolleyes:
How to get rid off?
A setting in the DSN file?
Some VBA to loop through each table and rename?
Linked table manager which I haven't got round to installing yet?
Thanks

Hi,
Current situation:
We have various departments using a Db and some of the users have drive mappings to different to others (company reasons). So far we have had to create different front-ends for each section, not very useful for updates etc.
What I'd like:
To be able to link to the tables on the server using the server name and not a specific drive letter.
My question:
Is this possible some how?
Would using SQL server for the back end be a way of getting round this issue?
Thanks for any assistance as usual
Matt
Hi Guys,
I am new to this forum and I am hoping you can help. I have produced an Access 97 database on a PC on the hard drive (C I have sent this to a client but he cannot run it as the backend data files are in C: and he is running the whole access programme on the R: drive. As the front end is an MDE file is there anyway I could write the path to the linked files so that access can find them automatically. The same problem applies with the help files, how can you define the location of the help files when you don't know the end users server location?
Any advice would be most welcome.
Regards
Chris
In Access can I link to a SQL Server view? I am currently linking to the
SQL Server tables in my database and don't have any views. But if I can link to views I could give the workgroup permissions in Access to the views, not to the primary tables. This would provide some added security from the user who bypasses my switchboard forms and goes to modify the Access tables directly.
I want to work on SQL Server tables located at my work place at home using Access. My question is; is it possible to link SQL Server tables on a server to my lap top computer using "Remote Desktop" or will I need to install Access onto the server and if tables can be linked using Remote Desktop how do I link them? I am using Access 2010 and have Windows 7 professional installed on my lap top.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a windows 7 machine with Access 2000 installed. I need to link to some tables on an SQL server and "SQL Server" does not appear in the dropdown of available link types. I think a driver is missing. I did a clean install of Office 2000 and only selected MS Access. Maybe that prevented everything needed from being installed. I would like to add just the missing driver if possible.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to link a table in one database to another database using the server name designation (ie.//2sxfprinff01Group) instead of the mapped network name (ie. G:). I tried relinking using the Access Link Manager. Right click on the linked table. But it does not let you edit the link.
Access 2007 does not allow this and reverts links to the G: drive. There are situations where the the IT department have set the mappings to this shared location as an H: for some of the employees. In those cases, the employee gets an error message telling them that Access cannot locate the G: drive.
An obvious solution is to get the employees remapped to the G: drive. However, one would think that MS would have allowed for mapping to the designated location and not an alias.
I am using Access 2003 in a simple database and want to add digital pictures of each item in my database.
Before trying to enhance the database with pictures; the various fields are filled with either descriptive text or numbers. The size of the mdb database file is 464k.
I recently wanted to add a picture of each database entry. After adding a picture that is only 300k in size the mdb file increase to 18MD. Then after adding another picture also of 300k bytes my database grew to 25MB.
In the drop down menus Under Tools - Database Utilities - I ran the Compact & Repair Database. This did not reduce the size.
In the database Form I am using a Bound Object Frame to hold the picture and yes I am not linking the picture I am including it in the database. But, would only expect it to increase the database size by slightly more than the picture size.
I should also point out that the only way I have found to get the picture to be visible (not just an icon of the type of picture file) is to right click on the Bound Object Frame scroll down and choose Insert Object. Click on Create New and select Adobe Photoshop Image. This open adobe photoshop I make sure the picture properties are creating a picture of 300k.
So my question(s) is again. Why is my database increasing in size so rapidly? Is there a better to insert picture into a database?

I have Access 2003 and have trying for some time to insert pictures. I have followed the instructions step by step as outlined in the BIBLE and nothing. I recently acquired a new computer and the problems still persists. Can anyone help.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI know its possible with the right code because I put animations into my VB assignment last year. I just need to know how to do those group things where several objects of the same type (like twelve picture frames) have the same name and are told apart by a number in brackets. eg. imgThewave(1).
Thanks

I have to build a circulation spreadsheet, and my bosses would like there to be pictures for each item. Any ideas on how I could do that? Thanks for your time.
Hi there
im trying to build a database that stores a large number of photos and would like some suggestions on how i can upload multiple photos (20+) at one time without uploading each one individualy, preferably through a form.
To outline the problem, each member of the team has a camera that they take to jobs, when they return i want them to be able to open a new form, enter the job number (the primary key) onto the form and then somehow drag and drop the pictures from the camera onto the form to upload them.
Is this possible through Access? is this the best way of uploading multiple photos easily? and how do i build this?
Thanks in advance

I am using access 2013 to make a PowerPoint presentation based on the data in a query. I know how to do that much using VBA but I am also trying to make a slide with a picture on it from a saved location.
Dim db As Database, rs As Recordset
Dim ppObj As PowerPoint.Application
Dim ppPres As PowerPoint.Presentation
On Error GoTo err_cmdOLEPowerPoint
[code]....
At the moment I am not worrying about adding the data as I know how to do this and had it working before - its just adding the picture to the slide.
Where I can get some better pictures for my access database. The standard ones are really not all that great. I am looking for a stock pile of pics that I can place in my files so that I can draw upon them whenever I am designing my database.
I just havent had much luck designing buttons in GIMP.
I am currently working on a project for work on re-creating our database for our daily audits. We enter daily information on a form which feeds to the table and in return we run the queries to get the percentages and all that good information. I was asked to be able to load a picture of to a particular record. Can I do that from the form and that link to the table and to the queries that run?
View 2 Replies View Relatedfocking pissed off. i want to add an image to a some forms, the database is all working and that. but when i put a picture in in the design view and then go to view it the whole thing crashs. i nearly lost the whole data base from putting one on the home page, thank fock i had a back up and now ionly have to redo one form as the other one wont open anymore it will just crash every time i try to open it. i have no idea whats going on, i have other images that i put on it before, but i cant put any on now. anyone every encounted this and how do i over come it!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report that links to a picture. It displayed great in earlier versions of access, but when I switched to 2007, the pictures are displayed but they look like they are posterized. They print just fine. I use an image frame, zoom size mode and centered. They are fairly substantial jpegs (2 megs), but regardless, it is the change to Access 2007 that caused the problem.
