Jpeg picture size

[gsrajan]

I have a pdf form with the size of U.S. paper (8.5x11 inches I think). I will convert this pdf into Jpeg and I wish to paste this picture on an access report in the same size. I will be placing controls like text boxes on this picture. Please let me know how to paste this picture withe the same US paper size. Thanks for your help.

Hi. Are you talking about using it as a Background Image of the report?

 

[gsrajan]

Yes, as a background picture. Thanks

 

[theDBguy]

Yes, as a background picture. Thanks

And you want to do this using code?

 

[gsrajan]

No codes. Just place the control over the appropriate place and set the recordsouce. Thanks

in Design view of your report, add an Image Control.
make it big enough to cover the entire page.

you Need to add code to the Report's Load Event:

private sub report_load
me.Image0.Picture = "path and filename of the jpeg"
end sub

No codes. Just place the control over the appropriate place and set the recordsouce. Thanks

In that case, I would say in the Properties Window of your Report, while in Design View, select an image for the Picture property.

Thank you for both for helping me. Image control works fine for me. Thanks again.

Hi. You're welcome. Glad to hear you got it to work. One difference between using an Image Control and a Background is an Image Control will be subject to the Margins settings. But since you're only using an image of a PDF form, then I guess you're okay. Good luck with your project.
