Hi there
im trying to build a database that stores a large number of photos and would like some suggestions on how i can upload multiple photos (20+) at one time without uploading each one individualy, preferably through a form.
To outline the problem, each member of the team has a camera that they take to jobs, when they return i want them to be able to open a new form, enter the job number (the primary key) onto the form and then somehow drag and drop the pictures from the camera onto the form to upload them.
Is this possible through Access? is this the best way of uploading multiple photos easily? and how do i build this?
I am currently working on a project for work on re-creating our database for our daily audits. We enter daily information on a form which feeds to the table and in return we run the queries to get the percentages and all that good information. I was asked to be able to load a picture of to a particular record. Can I do that from the form and that link to the table and to the queries that run?
I want to push a table from Access to a specific SQL Server database.
Is there an easy way to do this? I have an ODBC connection to the SQL Server Database and I can import tables from SS to Access... but is there a way to do the reverse?
I have a report that shows information on a property, and most have only one pictures, but some have several. The picture name is the same as the property code on the one's with only one pictures for example 1500-1111 is the property name and the picutres is 1500-1111 The only difference in the picture name on the properties with multiple picutes is that they have an a, b, c, d etc after the code, for example the first pictures is 1500-1234 and the second is 1500-1234a and the third is 1500-1234b etc, and the property code is 1500-1234.
I need to figure out a way for all the pictures to show up if there is multiples. The report only contains info on one side, so the other could line up the pictures in a column form. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer) Me.FilterOn = True Me.Filter = Forms!frmpropertydatabase.Filter
End Sub
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If Len(Dir("H:ApartmentsApartment Property Photos" & Me.propertycodenumber & ".jpg")) = 0 Then Me.imgEmpty.Picture = "H:ApartmentsApartment Property Photosophoto.jpg" Else Me.imgEmpty.Picture = "H:ApartmentsApartment Property Photos" & Me.propertycodenumber & ".jpg" End If End Sub
To start off I have only been working in Access(2003) for the past 2 months. And Yes I am a neebie of all neebies but please read on.
What I am trying to do is for every record I need to associate multiple pictures of damages to items in for repair. For example I have an High end Amplifier that came in for repair and the outside has markings of a fire(thats one pix) then opening it up we see that the fuses, wires and PC board has fire marks also(pix two) and so on. The record is keyed to the serial number. On the form my fields are Serial number, RMA #, all the senders info (name,address, contact number, store purchased, etc.). Then I created a subform for the picture with the following the picture itself, buttons(previous, next, add pic, delete pic) a hiden textbox(serial number) that I have joined(relationship) to the major form(serial number). How do I link the pic to that specific serial number and then other pictures that also link to that serial number.
I know its wordy but I wanted to make it as clear as I could.
Any way to copy files from a camera, to a new location using the dialog window and then resizing them before they reach there new destination. The selecting and copying them works fine, but I cannot find a way of resizing them in... or after the copying process.
I am using Access 2003 in a simple database and want to add digital pictures of each item in my database.
Before trying to enhance the database with pictures; the various fields are filled with either descriptive text or numbers. The size of the mdb database file is 464k.
I recently wanted to add a picture of each database entry. After adding a picture that is only 300k in size the mdb file increase to 18MD. Then after adding another picture also of 300k bytes my database grew to 25MB.
In the drop down menus Under Tools - Database Utilities - I ran the Compact & Repair Database. This did not reduce the size.
In the database Form I am using a Bound Object Frame to hold the picture and yes I am not linking the picture I am including it in the database. But, would only expect it to increase the database size by slightly more than the picture size.
I should also point out that the only way I have found to get the picture to be visible (not just an icon of the type of picture file) is to right click on the Bound Object Frame scroll down and choose Insert Object. Click on Create New and select Adobe Photoshop Image. This open adobe photoshop I make sure the picture properties are creating a picture of 300k.
So my question(s) is again. Why is my database increasing in size so rapidly? Is there a better to insert picture into a database?
I have Access 2003 and have trying for some time to insert pictures. I have followed the instructions step by step as outlined in the BIBLE and nothing. I recently acquired a new computer and the problems still persists. Can anyone help.
I know its possible with the right code because I put animations into my VB assignment last year. I just need to know how to do those group things where several objects of the same type (like twelve picture frames) have the same name and are told apart by a number in brackets. eg. imgThewave(1).
we are traders of metal scrap. we have lots of material pictures on the basis of container numbers. We want make a user form where on entering the container number the relevant picture will be shown.
I had scanned these forums, but i didn't see what I was looking for. I'm new to access, my intern ship short of threw me into it. eh' but that is not the point.
I have to build a circulation spreadsheet, and my bosses would like there to be pictures for each item. Any ideas on how I could do that? Thanks for your time.
I am using access 2013 to make a PowerPoint presentation based on the data in a query. I know how to do that much using VBA but I am also trying to make a slide with a picture on it from a saved location.
Dim db As Database, rs As Recordset Dim ppObj As PowerPoint.Application Dim ppPres As PowerPoint.Presentation On Error GoTo err_cmdOLEPowerPoint
[code]....
At the moment I am not worrying about adding the data as I know how to do this and had it working before - its just adding the picture to the slide.
Where I can get some better pictures for my access database. The standard ones are really not all that great. I am looking for a stock pile of pics that I can place in my files so that I can draw upon them whenever I am designing my database.
I just havent had much luck designing buttons in GIMP.
focking pissed off. i want to add an image to a some forms, the database is all working and that. but when i put a picture in in the design view and then go to view it the whole thing crashs. i nearly lost the whole data base from putting one on the home page, thank fock i had a back up and now ionly have to redo one form as the other one wont open anymore it will just crash every time i try to open it. i have no idea whats going on, i have other images that i put on it before, but i cant put any on now. anyone every encounted this and how do i over come it!
I have a report that links to a picture. It displayed great in earlier versions of access, but when I switched to 2007, the pictures are displayed but they look like they are posterized. They print just fine. I use an image frame, zoom size mode and centered. They are fairly substantial jpegs (2 megs), but regardless, it is the change to Access 2007 that caused the problem.
Hi, My database consists of some personal data and a photo of each person. I am trying to include these photos when I browse the database via ADP. I have found instructions how to do so at Microsoft website (article ID: 285820) Link for it: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=285820 The problem is I cannot make it !!!!!!!! Where exactly should I paste the VBscript in the page code to execute displaying of the photos??????? I am happy to send you the head portion of my page code if anybody knows where to paste it.....
I have a access DB for my employees with pictures. The main form displays their info and a picture as I scroll page to page. But I also have contact report that will show all info and picture. I am having difficulties linking the pictures from a seperate folder on my server.
I have successfully used the recommended way to display images from a folder in a form as posted on the microsoft website.

These instructions were for Access 2000. I noticed that there are seperate instructions for doing this using Access 2003.:

My questions are: 1. If multiple users access this database using different versions of Access (2000 and 2003) will it not work for some? 2. do i have to modify code if i update to 2003?
I have created my database - I now need to upload data from my old database.I have the old data in an excel spreadsheet and have edited the data so that it matches the coloums in the new database.I have one problem,I can upload all the person data into the person tableand I can upload all the organisation data in the organisation table(I'm assuming I just copy and paste it into the tables in the new database.)BUT and this is a big BUT.. the employment table is the linking table where you select an organisation from the drop downlist and you select a person from the person dropdown list, you add other details about emplyment and save the record.Does this mean I will have to do this manually, i.e create all the links manually??And is my cut and paste method above corect??Thanks is advanceEdit: I have attached the database to help you understand
You must have creted databases before which needed to be populated with dada from another source.I have a database with three tables.PeopleOrganisationsEmploymentI have two spreadsheets - one with organisations and one with people.Approximately 700 records for each - how will I upload these and more importantly will I have to manually make the links in the linking table(emplyment??)Please adviseThe database is attached to help
I can't seem to upload on this site anymore (I could do it a few days ago). Is there a problem with the uploading or am I doing something wrong? It looks like my uploading capabilities are off. Can I please have uploading capabilities?
I have some sample code I'd like to upload to answer a few threads.
I have a problem and wander if anyone knows a solution?
I have a central database that runs on a stand alone machine (soon to run on a server with VPN connection), it has a form that enables us to report faults this works fine however i would like to be able to send the form out to our operators (all over the world) for them to fill in when needed. then what we would like is for them to send it back to usand then for us to upload it to the central database.
I built a form that will allow each page header to take the info needed depending on who is using the data base. I seem to be having a problem having the Logo uploaded so that it can be used. Since I am new to Access, my only example would be like a web page. use the location of the picture in the code and it pulls it up for each page associated. I guess this would be 2 questions. How do I add to my form the upload of the graphics and how do I get the reports and forms to pull that picture into the header every time.
I have a large database of items we sell on Amazon, I am looking to automate the process of uploading the inventory.
I am uploading a tab delimeted text file using the following code,
With CreateObject("msxml2.xmlhttp") .Open "POST", strURL, False .setRequestHeader "Host:", "mws.amazonservices.co.uk" .setRequestHeader "User-Agent:", "VBA" .setRequestHeader "Content-MD5:", md5hdr2 .setRequestHeader "Content-Type:", "text" .send c2a Forms!Form1.Text3.value = .responseText End With
I am confident I have the signature and the MD5 Header, but I cannot get the data into Amazon!
I keep getting a non-descript error "InputDataError".
When debugging my Play API, I was told that the "send" command was not uploading the file contents, it was uploading the filename! So c2a is a string variable that contains the tab delimited data. This works like a charm for Play, but no joy for Amazon.
