Hello!
I have a database with alot of embedded images. The reason for having
the images embedded is security.
My problem is that it works fine on my computer, but not on my clients
computer. He hasn't got Microsoft Photo Editor installed and because
of that he cant view the images when doubleclicking on them in the
table. He can still see the pictures in the formview but when he
doubelclicks the images a error message shows up.
I want to create a database which all my clients can use, both the
clients with Microsoft Photo Editor and those whitout. I would of
course also prefer if they didn't have to install another plugin /
application.
All the embedded images are jpeg, but in the table they show up as
MSPhotoEd.3
In my humble opinion, the best way would be if access would show the
pictures with the program associated with the filetype. If jpg for
example was asociated with Photoshop on my clients computer, the image
would be opended in Photoshop.
From what I have read, I suppose the progam that views the image must
be an OLE server and Im don't know if Photoshop can act as one.
What is the best thing to do?
All help is highly appreciated!
Thanks!
Marcus
