Adding Images To Database

Sep 6, 2007

Hello

First let me apologize if I am being stupid, quite new to Access. I am trying to create a database with some pictures in it; I want to design a form that changes the image with each record, (Its for work they want a database of our employees info with a photo of each employee) reading though the help file it seams I need to add a bound image control, I have tried 2 different ways and am still getting the same problem, the first way I tried was to create a text field with the address off the photos (there are .jpg’s) and then add a bound image control on the form and link it to the field. Problem is this just displays the name of the file not the picture (e.g. as you go though the records it shows Mark.jpg, Simon,jpg, Louise.jpg….) I then tried to add a OLE field and add the files that way, if I click on add from file when creating the object I get the same problem just displays the file name, If I click create new bitmap image it works and displays the picture, the problem is the data base file then becomes huge (it was 45 meg with 2 photos, I need to add about 150 in total!. Am I being totaly dumb, is there a way of getting Access to display Jpg’s and ideally have them linked to instead of embedded to keep the size of the database down.

Sorry for rambling! (oh yeh and I am using Access 2003)

Thanks in advance!

Database With Tags For Images

Feb 20, 2015

I produce visualisations for architecture companies and use a lot of 2d images of people, cars, trees, skies, etc. As it stands now, I have a folder that contains a huge amount of images that I flip through when I create a new image. I have seen that some websites, such as [URL] .... allow you to filter through an image database based on different tags.

I would like to create a similar database, but stored locally on my computer. I have actually never used Microsoft Access before, but I'm thinking that this might be the best program for me to use. Is this true?

Essentially I would like to organize my library of images of 2D people based on things like: 'staring', 'bicycle', 'looking up', 'back view', 'crowds', 'pointing', 'sitting' etc.

How To View Images In A Database

Apr 3, 2012

I am working on a computer task for school and i want to add a field to a database that displays pictures of different kinds of fish. I've been searching for a solution on the internet the whole morning, but i cant seem to get it right. Some sights recommend inserting an OLE object, while others say i should insert the paths in a textfield. The second option sounded the best, but how do i insert the path and how do i get the database to display the pictures? I know the images should be saved in the same file in the database. Can I only insert bitmap images or is it possible to use jpeg?

Forms :: Display Images On A Form In A Split Database

Jan 2, 2015

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?

Path To Linked Images Breaks When Close Database

Jan 16, 2015

I have a report in Access 2010. The report contains some images in the main report area and in sub reports. I have The queries that feed the report and subreport contains the name of the pictures that are loaded into its image controls. I added the following code to my form in order to control what image is displayed for each record. Id like the form to work even if the database is moved as long as the subfolder and photos are moved along with it (thus using relative path).

Code:
Private Sub Report_(Current)
Dim ImagePath As String
Dim ImagePathInt As String
Dim ImagePathPlanV As String

[code]...

The problem seems to be that the routine doesn't seem to initially recognize the path. I have a blank photo in the folder containing all the images called NO PHOTO.jpg. If I open the report in design view and browse to this image in the picture parameter of any one of the image controls and run the report, then everything works perfectly even if I close and reopen the report. The report shows the right pictures even in the subreports.

The problem is when I close the database and reopen it, then the link is lost again, forcing me to do the process of browsing for the NO PHOTO image again. I already try to do an open form procedure to automatically reset the picture property, but although it resets the picture to the picture I set (I verify this by setting a different picture instead of the NO PHOTO) it does not make things work correctly as it does when I manually browse for it in design view. I also try to run the code above under the Report (Open) instead of the Report (Current) but that didn't work either.

Validation Rules Tying A Field To Another Field

Sep 7, 2006

Hi all. As always, thanks in advance for the input.

I'm building a database of housing developments done by my organization. There are a number of rules that I would like to enforce--many of the rules for data entry in a given field, depend on the value entered in a separate field. For example, if someone enters "Residential" in the BldgType field, then the Affordability field cannot be Null (If they enter "Commercial" for BldgType, the Affordability field CAN be Null).

Similarly, if someone enters "LLC" in the PartnerType field, then the value in the PartnerRole field must be either "Member" or "Managing Member", whereas if they enter "LP" in PartnerType, then the value of PartnerRole must be either "Managing General Partner", "General Partner", or "Limited Partner."

Images & MS Word

Apr 13, 2007

To queries here:

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.

Thanks,

Marc

Images In Cells...

Feb 19, 2008

Hello,

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?

Thank you!! :D

Images Not Showing Up

Mar 23, 2005

Hi there,

I have a "minor" problem which most of you will probably have a laugh about :eek:


I have set up my Table / Form to have an image for each "item".

Now...when I add the image, it does not show up as the thumbnail JPG. It only appears as the image name.

So instead of seeing a picture, I see 1.jopg (example)

Can anyone help me with a correct hint?

Much appreciated

Chris

Record Images

Jul 20, 2005

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.'

What am I doing wrong?

Images In A Report?

Mar 31, 2005

Dear All:

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.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Many thanks,

Regards,

Dion
