Problem with images in forms
I have a problem with Microsoft Access 2010 and 2007: there is a possibility
to insert a picture into OLE Object field into record in form. However, it does not work: whenever I insert an image into OLE field, it does not insert an image, but an icon of it, a Package. I want to have an image visible in record. But I always get an icon. I did not have this problem when I was working on Vista and earlier on XP, right now in all my computers I have this issue. I use Office 2010/2007 on Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. The problem occurs in both, 2007 and 2010 version, I tried it on different computers, all with Win 7.

Problem with images in forms
Instead of an OLE field, store the picture in the file system, and use a
text field to show the path. Then apply it to an image control.

Problem with images in forms
The attachment datatype only works in the ACCDB file type of 2007/2010, not
the MDB file type. Further, while it doesn't bloat anywhere near as much as an OLE field, it's still much, much bigger than saving a path in a text field. Further, you cannot sort or index an attachment datatype, and it is non-standard, so you cannot export to another format. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "tighe" wrote in message ... also you could use the attachment field type. i dont know what image formats will carry over but i have used JPG. hope one of these suggestions helps.

Problem with images in forms
The problem is that I have a database, which I started some time ago, on
Windows XP. Inserting images in OLE field worked then. I would like to continue this database, so changing it does not work for me. I do not want to reinsert 1000+ images once again. Inserting images in OLE field works in Windows XP, even in XP Mode in Windows 7, but only with bmp files. Unfortunately, I was unable to make it work on Windows 7--so definitively it is the problem with Access 2007/2010 on Windows 7.

However, if you have the images in a folder(s), the code in PictureMgr will collect them all in a few seconds and build the table, inserting all the paths and file names. The paths of thousand images of any filetype, will still take less than 30 seconds. Have a look and try it out. Run it, and if it works the way you require, you can import the table and all or part of the objects. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com

PictureMgr and backend db
I am using your PictureMgr and love it - everything is working fine with it, but I want to create the table in the backend of my database, rather than the front. I have been searching and have not yet found an answer on how to do that (or I am just spacing out what I am looking at).
