Documents and/or pictures in my DB (2 Viewers)

[Dvorak Pietrek]

Hi

I'm using Access 2007, but my database is in the 2002-2003 format (.mdb), and I want to work with it in this version. The reason is that I created my own menus, and this isn't possible since the 2007 version. I would like some examples in a database so I can customize my database. They are examples of how to insert documents or photos into my database. I'm looking for simple examples because I'm a beginner.

Thanks

Are you sure you can't use your 2003 custom menus in an accdb? Review https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...f-access-eeea8c31-c2fb-4f36-81a7-7886e168a2c8

It's not clear to me what you are asking for. If you need images of what your db does, then do some screenshots or use Snipping Tool. Or get a screen recorder app.

The attached zip archive includes both .accdb and .mdb versions, which illustrate how to browse to a file and return its path as text. The .accdb version stores the path in a column in a table, from which the file can be opened in its associated application. It would not be difficult to amend the .mdb version to do the same. Storing the path to a file rather than embedding the file itself avoids the excessive bloat which the latter can produce when a significant number of files have been added to the database.
