I have created a db with a picture linked to every form as a background.
The mdb file and the jpeg file are on the server but if it is open and someone else tries to open it it will give an error and the bg won't be linked to the forms.
If the picture is embedded the db becomes sooo large (from 700 kb to 43 mb!!!!) so that's also not the solution.
Hope that someone can help.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHere is my situation. I have a database with a table in which contains all of the names and members of our club. Every member in our club has a rank, the rank is held in a field called "rank". I also have a form which is used to add and edit the information into this table. The form that i have create is a bog standard form with nothing special on it. What i would like to be able to do is when the form loads and the information from the table populates it, i would like a picture box to hold a picture that represents there position like an avatar. I have tried doing this myself however my attempts just resulted in errors about not have the form focus. I use the code editor to do this. I know this is possible to do as i have seen it on some other projects.
If any one has any idea or hints about how i can do this please reply.
As an added thing i would prefer if it was done in the code editor as the machine it has to run on has macros disabled.
Hi
I have a form, which users print out. On the screen, it has a light grey background, but I do not want this to be printed as it is just a waste of ink
Is there anyway of making the background colour "screen only"?

hello friends
if anyone of the access gurus here had a chance to download and use the Form demo from Microsoft website you would have notieced that the background is actually a bmp picutes of cloudes. Can anyone tell mehow they manage to put that pictures in the foms. i tried using the autoformat but the autoformat has specific formats and not the one i saw in Forms Demo from Microsoft webiste.
Please tell me how to include pictures like these in the form.
Hi guys.
I have been told to make my database look 'sexier' but I am a bit worried that the pictures may slow it down or increase it's size unneccesarily.
Speed is an issue because we have some offices that dial in and access it that way and as such are limited to their connection speed.
So what I want to do is created a few images, link to them, and put in code that can 'turn them on'.
The question is how?
I have created a new image object. Changed it's properties to linked.
Now I need some code that reads:
If myvalue = "Yes" then
myImage.visible = true
Else
'code to delete image
End If
I am a bit worried because that means that the images will always be there on load up, so loading the form will be just as slow because the images are there.
Or maybe I can do
If myvalue = "Yes" then
'code to create image
End If
Please help.
Edit - Part two to this question is: How do I use relative links for images? I have a folder of images and I want them to work no matter where the database sits.
Edit again - Just another question: Is it possible to have Images appear and disappear depending where the mouse is?
Have a database that stores information about jewelry. The user wants each record to have a picture of the item. No matter what I try I can’t put a picture field in my table. All help is appreciated. tillessal@yahoo.com :confused:
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form which brings up another form like this
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmImage"
stLinkCriteria = "[ProductID]=" & "'" & Me![txtProductID] & "'"
Me.Visible = False
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , , , , "SELECT ProductID, Description, Path FROM tblProducts WHERE " & stLinkCriteria & ";"
However, on the frmImage there is also an ImageControl that may or may
not have a picture. The name of the path and filename is stored in a field
in a table (not OLE).
I do not want the frmImage to open at all if no image can be found under the path and name specified. The file/picture name is exactly the same as the ProductID in the link criteria above.
Perhaps a message to say that no image was found.
At the moment the form opens up regardless.
By the way, the Me.Visible = False refers to the form that opens the
frmImage form, so will have to become True if no image found.
Thanks

View 14 Replies View RelatedI would like to change the color of the actual access database background. I've done my forum searching and found many many threads explaining how to do this but i cant open any of the sample DB's. Access says the file is readonly and you need to be able to edit upon the first opening or something to that affect. I assume its becuse the sample is a newer or older access than im running(XP)
Sorry to rehash old threads but i cant get the info from them.
Can anyone help..Grey sucks ha
thanks

I am trying to put a jpg of a logo onto the top of a form and no matter what I do, it is imported with a white background! I have put it on a transparent canvas in Adobe photoshop, which usually works when I import it into word and other programs, but not access. I have tried looking at the properties of the image in access, but it says that the background is transparent. Help!

I have a subform that returns a bunch of records. Each of the records returned has a LANE_ID, so in this example, there are 10 records returned, 5 with LANE_ID = 11111and 5 with LANE_ID = 22222. Is it possible to alternate the backgrond color for each of these groupings?
I have found examples of how to change the color of alternate rows, but I can't find anything that would tell me if what I want to do is possible.
I have a .gif I set up as the background, but it doesn't stretch for the full length of the form. As you can see in the picture, at the bottom where the record selector/scrollbar would be, my background picture is not filling.
Any help would be appreciated.

This should be an easy one for somebody. I'm a newbie to access and I'm experimenting with a tabbed form. My problem is if I create a new form with (say) two tabs, the area to the right of the tabs(where more tabs would be inserted) is white and I don't know how to change it to blend in with the rest of the page. Hope I'm making myself clear.:(

Hi
We have created some forms using (in some cases) the form wizard.
As you may know you have to select a "Background Style" when using the wizard.
Now we want to change the background from one of these styles to a colour - but when we select it in Properties and try to apply it, it seems to flicker but does not seem to have any effect.
Can anybody help us out please ?
many thanks

I have a master form with a picture as the background with a timer event that fires every 5 minutes. I have a subform (a clock) with a timer event every second to update the text. How do I make the sub form background transparent so that I see the master form back ground?
I did it this way so I didnt have to update the master form data every second.
help would be much appreciated.

I have some code here that is changing the color of a txt box in my form based on the value in the text box. Everything is working great. The only problem is that I have a sub form with many tabs and many, many txt boxes. I would have to replicate this code hundreds of times....
Does anyone know a better (LESS CODE) way to look in the form and change the color of a txtbox based on a value. Something more generic. RIght now I am targeting specific txt boxes...
I just want a general statement that targets the entire form

I have searched (not knowing what to search for), tried Access help and most importantly experimented, but alas no luck.
I have a header section and body/main section of a form.
I want the background image to fill the body/main section only, but instead it seems to cover the whole form, including the header section.
Is it possible to limit an image to the body section of a form only.
Thank you in advance
