Picture Control

[sajarac]

Good Morning All,
I have this issue with pictures in reports, in my table I have my pictures stored as a OLE Object, an if i want to show those in my reports seems like the only option is to use a third party software "AccessImagine", and I have to pay for it. is there any way to see my pictures without add this Active X control?

thanks in advance for any response

Regards

if you have the path of the photo in a field, and an imageFrame on the report
(imageframe is the icon that has the sun over the mountains )

load the image in report detail ON PRINT event
imageFrame.Picture = [FilePath]

Hi, thanks for your reply, unfortunately doesn't work, because I don't have the pictures stored in my PC or network, the pictures came from the users when they submit a new record.

you can use Bound Object Frame control and bound your ole field to the control.

Hello Sir, and thanks for your reply, doesn't work, only using this active x control works, any other suggestion?

Many thanks!!

can you post stripped down version of your db.

Hello there, this is the table and the users submit the pictures, is an OLe object, and the third party active X control seems like is the only one that can handle the pictures.

Any advice?

What version of version of Access are you running. I have had to use an ActiveX component on pre Access 2007. The (25,000) images used COULD NOT be stored and were held on a server and NOT locally.

Hello, thanks for your interest, I am using Office 365, 2016.

Above 2007 will handle jpeg images so I have used the picture element and referential logical to the images. I did have to rewrite the Image Management Scripts.

Hi, thanks for your prompt reply, but it's mean?
That I don't need the active X control? this is a third party and it cost around $65. if so could you please explain how can I achieve this?

Many thanks

can you post a sample of your db, maybe 2 or thee records.

Hi Sir, and thanks for your interest, I am using an application named "Cellica Database", if you can see the PDF file, you get the idea, in the page 8 they suggest to use two different controls to allow user see the pictures in the database, but you have to pay for that, that is why I would like to use any Microsoft control that can do the same.

Many thanks

i see, can you post at least 1 record of your table, so i/we can test.

 

[Simon_MT]

I used to used dbpix for Access 97 but NEVER stored a single image within the database. With about a GB of images I could access these images with no footprint. I didn't realise there still products advocating storing images in databases.

Is this what you are looking for?

 

[arnelgp]

hello sir, i need a database not picture.
import your table with OLE field to new database and delete some records.
just leave 1 or 2 for test.
if my test fail or succeed, i will inform you.

 

[sajarac]

Hello, please apologize, hope this help!

Many many thanks

Thank you very much Sir, I cannot open the file, but if you don't mind could you please let me know if you could see the pictures? at least one, without using the third party active x control?
