Hi,
I have an OLE object in a table, using a Bound Object Frame to Enter a
drawing (i.e. Copy and paste - from excel or Autocad [Using a conversion
program]) basically a bitmap image.
The object frame is small because I don't need them to see the picture
this is only for entry of the picture. I also realize the bloat but this is
the easiest for them to enter (if I didn't have the other problem) - and
will take care of that later.
How I have to enter the picture currently: Right Click - Insert object -
pick Bitmap Image (or Paintbrush Picture) - click ok -
Now the first Problem - it opens up paint but the window says Microsoft
access and where a blank picure would be there is the form so I have to
click out of the Object Frame so I can go on.
The I can Right click again and now that there is a "bitmap Image
object" in the dropdown menu I can select it and then say open and paint
will start up and the copy can be made there.
So what I would like -
Best case - have the ability to just paste into the selected frame -
automatically as a bitmap image when it is entered.
Next - double click to open Paint and paste there (without the multiple
steps)
Links to web pages will be ok if they have good codeing examples - I have
tried to look but found none - there was a Microsoft one dealing with this
but they used VB and not Access for the form and no code that I needed.
So some psuedo code that I think I need to do this
insert bitmap object into sketch field
open paint - (if there is no property that will work from the Bound
Object control)
Thanks
