Linking Jpegs in Access 2003 Forms
First of all let me say, I'm NOT a programmer. I went a bought several books
on Access 2003 inorder to create simple databases forms. I've created a form for our little company which I wish to display the employee's picture on the form. When I follow the procedures in my book, all that is displayed in the name of the jpeg and not the actual picture. If I click on the name the picture is displayed in another window. I have went on the web and read so much that I'm crossed eyed. I've reinstalled MS Picture Manager like one article said and still no joy. Is there a SIMPLE way to do this like the book stated? PLEASE HELP ME!!! -- Quentin Sligh |

PLEASE HELP ME!!! In order to display a bound OLE object you need a registered OLE server that is associated with the filetype. I should also mention that storing images in a database causes bloat at least to the file-size of the image, but can be much larger. I suggest, storing a path to that image on your hard drive in your table, and using an Image control in you form to display it. A sample database that does just that and also allows you to collect and store the paths is available at: http://www.datastrat.com/Download/Picture2K.zip -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com |
