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 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

I've seen this or a similar question answered several times, but still haven't found the answer that works for me, so here goes (fyi, I'm relatively new to Access and all self-taught)...
I have a form that lists agencies and addresses with a subform for agency contacts. The contacts are in a list box and the rest of the subform shows the phone number/email/etc.. of the selected contact person. I wanted to be able to add contacts, so I created a popup form that prompts for the name of the new person. After clicking OK to close the popup I'd like the list box on the subform to update with the new contact name. I've tried all combinations of requerying/refreshing/resetting the RowSource of the list box... but to no avail. The best I've been able to do is that if I add two new contacts (by calling the popup form twice), when I click OK the second time the first new name shows up in the list box.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

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

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 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?
