Hi,
I first posted this as a reply to someone else's old question a week or so
ago, but to highlight this as a separate problem, I'm reposting as a new
thread (sorry about that).
I'm trying to design an application to read a set of .tiff records on a CD in
Access 2000 (I know it's dated - tell my employer that!). It runs like
clockwork on my Windows user account: the picture control on the form
displays the tif files from the CD, but when I try to view the same image
files on my colleagues' user accounts, Access informs me that the
application doesn't support the .tif file type.
I've noticed that they are automatically being imported when I run it, but
not even considered an option for my colleagues. Is there any way I can alter
their settings to import the tif files?
As an alternative, I've tried the MODI Control, but there seems to be very
limited support for this. I dont' seem to have access to the custom
properties menu, and the following line doesn't seem to have anny effect on
the control whatsoever:
Me.PM.Application.LoadPicture "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\
My Pictures\Sample Pictures\Blue hills.jpg"
The control remains an empty grey box. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for your help
Sam
