Solved How to determine the individual record of a continuous form?

Maybe I AM missing something. Is this sizing of the image within the Access environment? Or is it in a separate imaging software?

Yes. Resize your images to a standard size. That is what most people do. I think that has been said multiple times, or maybe that was another thread.

Hmm...most people are apparently more patient than I am. I find that impractical to create a custom sized image in a graphics program and then imbed that for each command button that I want and then hope I don't need to resize the button for some reason in the future.

All the things that make an app user friendly and personalised can take a long while to do.

form design, resizeable forms, button design, images, context sensitive help.

It's Ok if you sell millions or even thousands of copies. Much harder to add the same degree of polish if you only have 4 users.

Most people develop to a consistent common template. So fonts, colors, and buttons are similar size, color, etc. throughout the project/s. With Irfanview you can select as many images as you want and resize to a specific size. You an do thousands at once if you wanted. Then save them in a folder. Then resize to a larger or smaller size. You could have a folder for several sizes. Takes a few seconds.

@Genma - I have quite the patience for polish, just not for clunky workarounds.
@MajP - That's interesting and quite useful and would significantly reduce the time needed. I'll have to investigate.

Irfanview does a real good job of bulk resize, rename, and convert. Great freeware.
