Having trouble using .JPG images in Access 2013 reports? I inserted some images (of arrows) onto a label report. Since then, I've had problems with my DB becoming corrupted or "unstable". I can give more detail if wanted, but my main question is do y'all recommend using images in reports and forms. If so, what format?
View Replieswe are moving from Access 2003 to 2013 using Windows 8.1 64bits. We used Leban's code and library to create and merge pdfs. C
Creating pdfs can be done with built-in functionality in Access 2013. But I can't find a way of merging pdfs. I've tried Leban's Dlls files but I am getting run-time error: "File not found:StrStorage.dll" do I need to do something extra to make Leban's code work on Windows 8 64bits ?
We have run into a problem with Access 2013 when trying to print reports. The program always crashes. Have updated printer driver for the HP LaserJet P2035.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've developed and used over the past 20 years to handle my home finances. It includes several charts that were probably created back in Access 2003, which I used up until a couple of weeks ago when I subscribed to Office 365 Home and set up Office 2013, including Access.Most things worked without a hitch. In fact, all my old VBA code seems to run just fine.
However, the charts don't work. The right side of chart gets cut off way short of the margin both in print preview and report view. Everything else looks fine and the data is correct.
I've fiddled and fussed and fangled with zoom, clip and stretch. I've tried to resize the chart area - it just snaps back. I've tried everything I can think of based on 20 years of fussing with Access charts - which has always been a major pain - without success.
I have an INVENTORY database for work that I created. It got up to about 1 GB in file size and it stopped letting me add images (about 5000 so far; 10000 more need to be added). I was loading them (attachments) directly into the database. Obviously that was the wrong thing to do.
So I went back into the database to delete the images / attachments columns in my tables as well as change my many forms and tons of reports to reflect the table's text field for the link on my hard drive to each image (using the control source via property sheet to view each image in both forms and reports). After about 800 links, the images do show up on the forms okay, but now only sporadically show up in reports; in any view mode and with printing. This is very frustrating.
Is this a MS glitch? A memory issue? How can this be fixed? I really do not want to break my database into many smaller databases; it's just not not logical.Image type makes no difference whether it shows up or not; 99% jpg though.
PS - the other downfall I seem to be having is that the image quality = very poor viewing on screen and very bad printing; though when I used the attachments for the images = crystal clear viewing and printing.
I have access 2013 windows 7, I'm trying to expand the record keeping on a database someone else designed. I've added the fields i need to the Recordsource(s) (the table, query, and working on the form as well) I can't make the report any larger it seems (its currently at 22") and i need to add another "page" worth of fields horizontally; is there a way to do that? and also to replicate the header and other key fields so they're on that 3rd page.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn previous versions of Access (i.e 2003 and prior) I could use the following code in the On Click event of a form's command button to open an external file:
Dim stAppName As String
stAppName = "C:Program FilesCadroTransPost PlusTransPostPlus.exe"
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
However, I'm now using Access 2013 and it wont allow me to use this anymore, it gives me the following error:
Runtime Error '5"'
Invalid procedure call or argument
Why this doesn't work in Access 2013?
I use before insert code procedure to insert default value for one, or more fields in row. It is normal to have these fields are disabled. This event occurs when you try to enter a value in any another field in a row. However , when I finish entering the field going to the event before update regardless and trigger a validation of all fields in a row. I am not leaving from row , I want to go further input in other fields.How to insert default (calculated) values in new row.

I am pretty new to access and trying to create a form to enter data into a table. I keep getting a syntax error. Below is the part of code where I keep getting the syntax.
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INFO [Tb1 - Information]([Zone], [Controller], [Controller Type], [Panel], [CB #], [Controller Unit], [IP Address], [Modbus Address], [Sub Address/ HTC#], [PP Location], [Opp Priority],[ Startup Priority]) " & _

I'm in Access 2013 and I built a form with multiple drop downs. Here is what I have in the same order of which the user must choose from......
Document "Field Observation", "Monthly Inspection", "Safety Roster" (The user must first choose the document from this drop down he is recording)
Supervisor "First & Last Name" (The user then chooses the first & last name of the specific Supervisor name he is recording the document for from this drop down)
Manager - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
AOR - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
Org Unit - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
Month "January", "February", etc. (The user then chooses the Month of which the document will need to be applied to)
I would like the form to trigger an error with "This document is already recorded for this month" when the user chooses "Monthly Inspection" OR "Safety Roster" for a specific "Supervisor" for a specific "Month" that is already recorded in "TBL_DataTracker". The TBL_DataTracker is where all of my records are stored.
I have searched to find the correct syntax to refer to a combo box control on a nested subform. All the examples I've found Access 2013 will not recognize or find the appropriate control.
I have a parent form called IncidentDetails. On that form I have a control called ctrlLogDetail. Within that control is a form called sfrm_LogDetail. On sfrm_LogDetail, I have a control called ctrlType which houses a form called sfrmType. On sfrmType, I have a combo box called cboType. I need to be able to place the cboType choice into a query to filter records for another combo box on that same form. the query works appropriately when I have sfrmType open, however as soon as I try to call the query from the IncidentDetails form, Access cannot find the cboType control.
I've tried multiple variations of the syntax to call to cboType that I've found online. I found a very useful reference from BTA Development: however the syntax there will NOT work in Access 2013.
What is the appropriate syntax would be to get to my control within my 3 deep nested subform? I'm working Access 2013 and won't have a choice regarding Access versions.
When I click on my memo field and hit enter to go to a new line, it moves to a new record. Where do I look?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 5 tables that I would like to input data in. It can only be done with a single form. The fields I want to input in have the same names in all 5 tables, for example:
Table 1:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 2:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 3:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 4:
Name
Age
DOB
Table 5:
Name
Age
DOB
Is it possible to input data into all of these fields in each table using one textbox for each field?
Preferably without having to use code but if it cannot be done without it then that would be fine.
I have a new staff member in my office that has informed me that she has a degree of dyslexia. To assist her I've trialled changing the textboxes on one form in my Access 2013 application to a light pink color & this has instantly worked for her to read/input text.
Is there a way to automatically change each textbox to light pink on every form in my application on startup based on user login (say using an IIF statement in the OnLoad event of the startup form).
I have a Report containing a sub-report which holds the pictures. Typically there are 3-4 pictures per A4 page and 2-3 pages, so not millions, but for some reason whenever I load I get between 1-3 pictures a page and the rest show as blank. I can repeatedly reload time after time and get a seemingly random number of successful images.
The original images are on a network drive (but connectivity is good). They are high quality images but the load time isn't that bad (Is there a 'normal' load time for these things?) I wonder if it's just timing out after the first X pictures..
I would like to add a cross close command on the tab in tabbed documents mode. Is it possible to accomplish?

GOAL: Display linked images in image control, and to ultimately to export reports to pdf to share with family by email or to print
ERROR: There isnt enough free memory to update the display. Close unneeded programs and try again.
Ive created a DB for family heirlooms and as part of this Ive included images. Ive done this by storing the filename of the picture as text in the table tblPicture with a one to many relationship to the tblItem. This allows for many pictures of the item itself. I wanted to be able to show the most represent able photo of each item and added a checkbox titled primary picture to the tblPicture. I use this value in the querys to filter out all but one image per record.
I've added around 450 items to date, many of which have multiple pictures. I have started to run into some memory trouble now when running a few query driven reports.
I have stored only the file name in a text field in a table of the DB. I store all of my images in an images folder that is relative and constant to the DB location. I use code to display the images on the form with no problems (yet).
For displaying images on my reports,
1. I check to see if the record has an image path stored
2. If not I set the image control on the report to nothing
3. If there is a relative path stored I collect the DB path, and add the relative path and set the image control to that concatenated path
Code:
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Dim strDBPath As String
Dim strRelativePath As String
Dim strPath As String
[code]...
Lastly, I have a few different pre-built reports that generate any number of records. I can select by the original owner of the item. If that person has only a few items to their name I have no problems.how can I set up my report to display my reports with images to avoid the lack of memory. Is using the image control and setting the picture property in code wrong?
I have a field in my table that has a path to an image.
I was wondering if there was a way to get the image to show up on a report...
I have all the other fields formated with some text...would be nice to put the image on the bottom of the form.
Thoughts?
Thanks
I am building a database in Access 2007 that needs currently includes images and excel files as embedded OLEs. I am aware this is not ideal, but I can't change my employer's mind.
I've been looking in to the Attachment data type but am having trouble deciding if it will work as a substitute for my purposes. I know a variety of image file types can be displayed inside Access on forms and reports, but I can't find anything about displaying the contents of an excel sheet. I read something about using Active X controls to display .pdf images - is there anything similar for Excel?
I have created a database which has 2 images for record embedded, the method I have use for this is to link the address were the image is in order to avoid that the database gets slow, the images are displayed on the form but I cant find the way how to embed such images in a report neither how to print them with a button used for such purpose.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI create several reports for several different companies. Report data is the same but the report header data changes based on the company selected. All works well until I attempted to add their individual logos. I have tried many of the suggested methods both here and elsewhere to set the image path in Image.picture and image.control source. But I get "windows can't open file". Access 2010 on Windows10 insists on using the insert picture window when i select an image control. There is a drop down in the property sheet. I've gotten it to work a couple times but then its gone after restart.
The header data comes from a table [Company] which has the fields - name, addr, phone, path to image, and active(yes/no)
I'm producing PDF reports in a VBA routine in Access through the DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport.
The routine works great, however i have now a new requirement and i need to change the report header so to if Country X is selected in a drop-down menu, then only image X is shown on the report header; if country Y is selected then only image Y is shown on report header.
I was simply thinking to make this through the "visible" option of the image, however it doesn't work because i get error "report must be open".
i have a database. the database have a table called CardDetails in this table there is like 1000 rows.The table have a field named MedicalId. and i have a folder . it's destination (D:CardPic) . this folder contains 1000 pic has the same names as the medical ids....i need to make a report and show on it these pic's the database doesn't have a afield that contains the path.i need to auto display the images on the report depending on the medical id.
