Linked Picture in Form, Turned Sideways

[mjdemaris]

Hello all,
I am linking pictures to records for a parts database. I took the pics with my phone, some I took with the phone vertical, others horizontal. It seems the horizontal pics show up just fine on the form, but the vertical ones are sideways.

Any ideas on how to get them vertical? I've tried opening one in paint.net, rotating and saving, but that did not seem to work. (Going to try again in case I missed something.)

Thanks.

so far as I know it can't be done in access and you will need to use something like paint. Or try downloading gimp - a freeware product similar to paintshop. https://www.gimp.org/

You can also have a look at Stephen lebans website - he has done quite a bit around image manipulation - http://www.lebans.com/

I've been able to rotate them with Windows Photo Viewer.

Thanks, guys. I discovered that size matters here as well. I tried using paint/photo viewer to rotate them, but the rotation was not reflected in the form. So, I resized them, and this solved most of the problems. However, I may need to rotate AND resize, as several of the photos are still sideways.

I will also take a look at that link, CJ. Thanks for your help, guys!
