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 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'm trying to make a field specific image on a tabular subform, so a different image appears on every row depending on the field information.
Currently my code displays the same image on every row depending on which subform row is selected:
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() Dim imagepath As String imagepath = GetImagePath & Me.Exercise & ".jpg" If Len([Exercise]) > 0 And Len(Dir(imagepath)) > 0 Then Image26.Picture = imagepath
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'm trying to create a capacity report for my database. Originally, I only had the one table, which summed the number of Packs and number of Images, worked out percentage capacity used and then put it in a report, showing for each week of the year. However since then, I've added a child table to this, allowing me to create subrecords. The reason we did this was so we could easily group together multiple mailings under one single master record, so to speak.
Going back to the capacity, I've managed to work it so the Pack capacity is worked out from the mailing quantity in the subrecord. However, the number of Images is only entered onto the Parent record. Now my capacity query is summing the same number of images as there are subrecords, where in reality I only want it to sum the Images in the main record. I know I could add an Images field to the child table and work it out the same way, but I'd rather not do that (because that's not how our business works).
So essentially the question is, how can I sum the Images from the parent table without repeating the sum and massively overexagerating the sum?
I'm trying to present a little thumbnail image beside every record in a "continuous" subform after a search has been made. How do you think I should achieve this, please?
Thanks!! Johan
(PS. I have tried the following:
1. Tried to make a Image and on Form Current() update the image from a field called FileID.. The problem with this design was that EVERY record in the continuous subform changed to the current records image.
2. OLE object as a field for every record and a thumbnail inserted in that field. I think I can get this working. But I'm afraid that the database will explode in size. The thumbnails are about 3-4-5 kb. DS.)
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
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?
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.
How would you tie tiff images to an access database. for example. if I have a tiff image of an invoice, i would want the customer to be able to search for an invoice using information about the image, like invoice #, cutomer #, purchase price, etc.
I got myself pretty much backed into a corner here. I am trying to add images to records. For example, in my database there will be certificates scanned and put on each specific record. I have been searching high and low and found that the OLE object tool will allow me to do this. However, the only method I've found was to right click right in the table and selecting add object. I'm trying to find a more userfriendly method. I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I can not make the link thing work, and now I cannot even make it work with the images being stored in the database. My DB is very simple, and I am attaching it, along with my Images folder and a couple images. If ANYONE can figure out my problem and suggest how to fix it I would greatly appreciate it!
Does anyone have a recommended way to deal with images (ie. linked to file, OLE object embedded, others I'm not aware of)???
I have a report which summarizes the history of a project. In this report I have a subreport which has task information. As a user enters task information they have the option of associating pictures with the task (ie. prototypes, design images, test setup, etc).
So my data structure is based on: - many projects - each project can have many tasks - each task can have many pictures
My report for each project lists some typical project information and a subreport shows the task details associated with that project along with as many images that are associated with it.
My current system links to files on a network to avoid database size. This works well for storage and form use, until I try to print or preview a report. Then some of my pictures don't show up and I get a message that says images may be too large. My report could conceivably have up to 100 images, but I'm images stop showing up when I have around 15-20 pictures. Pictures files are typically 300 KB.
Is there a better way to show images on a report?????
