Auto thumbnail

[swmasson]

Hey there again,

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a smaller image (AKA: thumbnail) when you insert a JPEG into a form, i changed the filed in the table to OLE Object but when i input a photo, it is far too large i was wondering if it was possible to reduce this photo in size only to open up in full when clicked on??

Thans again

There are a couple ways of handling this I can think of and I'm sure there are more. You can simply reduce the size of the control and then give it an OnClick event to open a new form that is entirely the picture the size you want it.

Or you can, again, resize the control and hyperlink it to the actual picture file.

You can also store the picture directly in a table, but I'm not sure if that will give you additional flexibility.

Thanks for the reply, but i'm very new to access and dont know what you mean by resize the control? Could you please elaborate.

Thanks again
