I am a total novice with MS Access (2002) and coding so I am trying to learn by adapting the Northwind sample.
So far, one thing has completely stumped me and that is controlling images. I understand the benefits/pitfalls of storing images in the database and have concluded that it will suit me better to link my images via a text field.
What I am trying to do is add multiple images to the Northwind Employee Form. I have followed the help file and I can get additional images to display on the form, but I can not get the additional images to change for each record. The MS Access help only covers having a single image per record. I've concluded (right or wrong) that the Event Procedure is where I need to be experimenting, but I've had no luck so far.
Can anyone tell me if I can modify the Event Procedure in the Northwinds Employee sample to cope with multiple images, or is there another way?
Excuse me if any of my terminology is wrong... I really am new to this.
Is it possible to display, in either a form, multiple images that are dynamically linked? Can they all be displayed at once 1 to many images, either by using navigation bars or scrolling through a subform? The links would be stored in another table within the same database and not as hyperlinks.
Conceptually it would be like scrolling through multiple records on a subform with images rather than alphanumeric data in fields.
Would like to know if this is possible and if so in what versions of ACCESS.
Is there add-on software that would make this possible.
I am creating a database for vehicles in my town. I need to document multiple images per car. How can I do this? Ive tried Image and Bound Object frame in Design view but it seems that I can only add one picture per record...
I am new to Access forms and need some help. I did some research and figured out to display images in Acess Forms while getting the image path from a text field in the table. The images are suppose to change for each record. I have no problem displaying the first image a different image for each record but I am having problems displaying the second image. I have to 2 different fields for both image paths in the table. Here is the code:
Private Sub Form_Current() On Error Resume Next If Not IsNull(Me![Image1]) Then Me![ImageFrame1].OLETypeAllowed = 1 Me![ImageFrame1].SourceDoc = Me![Image1] Me![ImageFrame1].Action = 0 Else Me![ImageFrame].SourceDoc = "C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsMy PicturesSample Pictureso-image.bmp" Me![ImageFrame].Action = 0 End If
If Not IsNull(Me![Image2]) Then Me![ImageFrame2].OLETypeAllowed = 1 Me![ImageFrame2].SourceDoc = Me![Image2] Me![ImageFrame2].Action = 0 Else Me![ImageFrame2].SourceDoc = "C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsMy PicturesSample Pictureso-image.bmp" Me![ImageFrame2].Action = 0 End If End Sub
The problem is that the function returns after 'Me![ImageFrame].Action = 0' and doesn't go to the part where I am checking if the 2nd image exists. If I take out 'Me![ImageFrame].Action = 0' then it doesn't display the first image and goes on the 2nd image and displays the 2nd image. So that he bottom line is, with this code I can only display one image (either f1st or 2nd). Also, I tried using .Picture property instead of .SourceDoc but that doesn't work either. How can I change this so that I can display both images?
I really need to figure this out and will really appreicate any help. Thank you
I have been looking at other thread but i havent found anything that is similar to my situation.
I have a stock table of products and i want to display an image of each product based on one that is selected at that time. All the images are in one set folder. I need to find the image based on the product code and adding the extension ".jpg" which i have done. I do not have a path and image name field as i am using a table imported from ODBC. However not all the images are present so i need the database to show the image if it exsists and show a "no image" if it doesn't
I have a form in my database that has two subforms, both of which I use to display images that are linked. This works great when I just flip though the records in Form view, but when I want to print off a certain page the images are not linked properly. Instead of showing the image associated with the unique record it previews/prints the images associated with the first record of my recordset.
Any ideas? Maybe there is something in the subform or form properties that I don't have set correctly. In a past visit to the forum I found an extremely helpful database posted (called ImageSample97) that I used to develop my form.
how to display images from a database in the form. The form looks approximately like Customerdetail from Northwind Access example database. Images in database I have stored as OLE object images. 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 a form where i need to display the first 6 results (images). the information is comming from a subform which has all the information. also i need to know after pressing the "next" button how to display the next 6 images from the same subform and so on. using ms access 2013
I have photos stored in a folder on a drive. I have referenced them before in a simple picture viewer I created in a form. I create the file name by referencing the values of a list box on the field.
Example:
The list box has piid.2005.001 and image name is 2
Each piid has it's own set of photos in their own folder
Now. I want to be able to print out all the files in a report/form. The piid and image name are stored in a table called tblPhotos so I could reference there.
I want to have a button I click that generates a report/form that spits out all the photos in that folder. Next to a button would be a text box (txtWhichPiid) where you enter in the piid and that's how you know which piid's photos to use.
In one of my databases, I have a form and a report where the images stored in my tables are not showing properly for all entries. They show as an icon with the file name rather than the image itself. This is not true for every entry, so I don't think it would be a problem with how the form and report are set-up.
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 table that is linked to SQL server In this table I have a field that has thepath to an image 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.
I have a Notice Number field and a Path field.
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?
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.
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?
I got a questions and maybe you prof. can help me out
I got a table with all employees in it
Example
John Doil Mina Lizo Sholly Nopi
etc.
Its has 250 records.
I also got all the pictues of them But the pictures have the following name
John_Doil_.jpg Mina_Lizo_.jpg Sholly_Nopi_.jpg
Also i still have pictues from ex employees.
I have all the filepaths of the jpg in a table.
Is there a way to link the 2 tables based on first name Or make a extra cell and in a query take the names for the _ that takes out and put it in that cell.
Sorry for my bad english if you got question plz ask
Before you ask, yes I did search, but no it didn't help...
OK, database is storing members, so each member record needs to have a picture of them. I've made a field in the members table for the path of the image. I've followed the example here - http://www.utteraccess.com/candace/candace/picture/picture.zip , but I keep getting the error 'You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus.' When I've tried to set the focus to it I get the error '# can't move the focus to the control MemberImage.'
I have a DB that has a table called tblproductList. In the table i have a field called Image. I have made this field a Text Field. I have entered product details and have entered ghd.jpg in the Image field. this reflects the image i have stored in the same directory as the DB. I have a form and i want to call the image into the form. How is this done?
I have created a report in access 2000. What I wish to do is insert a signature on this report and as I scroll through the report, the signatures change. The fields on the report are name, major and dean.
The signatures reside on the "c" drive on the computer. This report is based on a query. I wish to link the signatures to a specific field(dean) so as I scroll through the report the signatures changes with the report.
I have searched the forums for a solution, but I am having difficulty.
Is it possible to efficiently store images in an Access database without having to install custom COM files and the like on your server?
I know it's possible to store them using OLE objects but I've heard this adds a significant amount of data to the image when storing. Is this correct?
Does anyone know how I could get around this? I'm interfacing the DB via the web, unfortunately I have to use an access DB for the task and can't tinker with the server.
I've embedded images in my table, OLE embedded.When i create a report i can add a bound frame but when i preview the report all i get is the generic image icon (its a jpg), the filename and the words (command line).
Hello, I am trying to add a normal JPEG image to an Access 2003 form through the "Image" control. The problem is that when I browse for images , it does not show any JPEG images, but only BMP and images of other 3-4 formats - The JPEG format doesn't exist there. When I try to add a JPEG through "all-files" it gives me an error message - "does not support this format". There is not problem viewing JPEG images on WinWord or other programs.
Has anyone heard of such a problem and its solution?
