Default Images for each product in a pop-up window

I need to find a way to display the picture for each record in a form already
built in Access 2000. The pictures are stored on the server and I built a
table with the record ID and the link to the picture. I do not know how to
display the image of each product on a pop-up window when look up for product
by ID. Not quite sure if it possible to display the image on a pop-up window
and how to do it.

Many thanks!

See the Categories form in the sample Northwind database (Help, Sample
Databases).

Default Images for each product in a pop-up window

Hi Sprinks,

Thank you for your answer!
I checked the Categories form in the sample Northwind database. Looks great
but I need to dipslay the product image in a separate window not in the main
form. I've already built the form for the application and after that I was
asked to display the image for each product, like an online Catalog. There
are more than 2000 products in database. The image are .bmp strored on the
server. In the form I created a combo box to retrieve information about each
product and there are two subforms too. So there is no enough space on the
form to display the image the way it shows in the Northwind that's why I
thought a solution could be to dipslay the images in a pop-up window when
click a command button or something like that. Not sure if it possible to do
this in Access, but I really have to find a way to display the images, I
cannot think of something else and my boss wants it right away. Please any
idea could help!

Many Thanks!

CC,

Create a second form, based on the same query as the main form, or a subset
thereof, that includes the image. Then open the 2nd form as a popup, using
the optional Where clause and WindowMode parameters:

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "Your2ndForm"

stLinkCriteria = "[ProductID]=" & Me![ControlOn1stFormWithProductID]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria, , acDialog

Hope that helps.

Hi Sprinks,

Thank you for your answer! I checked the Categories form in the Northwind
database, looks great!
I tried this example but the problem is I need to use a Hyperlink to the
file where the product's picture is stored. The form has two subforms and
there is not enough room to display the picture on the form, that's why I
thought to find a way to display the images on a pop-up window for each
product. There are more than 2000 products and the bmp images are strored on
the server.
Not quite sure if it is possible to do it in Access 2000, but I do not have
other ideas.
Any suggestion could help, please!

Many Thanks!

Thank you again! I'll try it. I've already created a new form to display the
images but don't know how to open it from the main form.

Perhaps this link will help. And be sure to add Access Web to your list of
favorite Access resources. There is a lot of vital information there.

Sorry, which link? I created the new form and created an unbound object
frame. I am stucked on how to display the image for each record. Probably it
is very easy but right know I cannot see how it should be done.

Thanks!

Hi Sprinks,

Thanks a lot for the link! seems more complicated than I thought. It looks
as I have to built a new Web page.

What I've done so far is just to open the folder where the images are
stored. From there I have to look up for the image for the product and to
click on it to display it. Personally I don't mind but they won't like it,...
I don't know how to go to the image for that record selected form list when
click the button and open it up in a pop-up window. Probably, I have to give
up,...

Cheers,

CC
