Problem with images in forms

T

Tytus

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
