Hello,

I am sorry if this subject has been covered before, but I couldn’t find it. I am making a Library booking system, for a University project and I would like to add a feature, that when a CD, Book or DVD is viewed there will be a small image of the cover with the information of the viewed item. I have pretty much just started using access and have watched a few video tutorials, so I know the basics, but I’m having trouble with this. Any help you can offer will be greatly received.

Thanks,
Alex

Use an image field, point it to the picture, set the size mode to STRETCH and it will format the picture to the sixe of the image field.
basically, but it is done on a form.

Thanks for your reply!
This is an example of what i had in mind...
When you click the button the arrow is pointing at, i would like the image to change to the corresponding DVD. Also where do I find the “image field” thing to add in? I’m a beginner :)

Thank you for your help,
Alex

If you go into design view on your form, your tool bar has a image control. Just drag and drop to your form. Now the problem is you have to change the property on the control to point to your image on each change of the record (you are storing a path to your picture in each record right?)

Hello Fofa,

Would it be cheeky of me to ask you to please do it for me? I'm having trouble understanding what to do.

Thanks,
Alex

Unzip to your C:\ directory and try it.

Wow! Thank you so much! That has helped me out a lot :)
Have a nice day
