Need ActiveX control for JPEGs in Access 97

I am looking for a good control that would display/print JPEG
images in Access 97. The existing Image controls, even with
the JPEG filters, are very slow - and I know there are better
ones out there (preferably freeware).

TIA...

Pegasus Software had a control called ImageN that got good reviews, but it
was not freeware. I believe MVP Stephen Lebans was working on a simple
display but don't know if he completed it or not -- http://www.lebans.com.

You should be aware that Windows cannot directly display a JPEG -- it
converts it to a device-independent bitmap, and even a small JPG file can
make a very large bitmap. On the other hand, if you have not taken steps to
minimize the size of the JPG, the bitmap can be truly huge.

Use the A97 version here:
http://www.lebans.com/loadjpeggif.htm
A97LoadJpegGif. zip is a database containing a function to allow for the
Display of Jpeg and Gif files on systems that do not have the Office
Graphic Filters installed. Here is the A2K version: A2KLoadJpegGif. zip

NEW - April 05 2003 Ver 5.0 Developed to allow Access RunTime
installations to display Jpeg files in a standard Image Control.
Provides functionality to load JPG,GIF,BMP,EMF ,WMF,CUR and ICO files on
systems without the Office Graphics Filters loaded.
Originally developed for Systems with Access Runtime only. Supports
transparency in Transparent Gifs. Allows you to resize Images on
Forms/Reports at runtime with no loss of Image quality.

I tried it, and it *works*, but it still too slow for my tastes.

I need it for an photo album app, used to display and print JPEG
files about 500K in size. The display part will be on a small
image control in a form, and can be lossy. I need speed here,
not image quality; any hints on how I can tweak your code?

For the report, I need image quality, not speed, so your code
will work fine as is.

The JPEG files were ones from my digital camera, and were on a
network drive. That made it even slower, until I copied them
onto a local one.

There's nothing to tweak. Your files are 500K in size so what do you
expect? You would need to build Tuumbnail's for each of the images in
order to radically improve performance.

To test another solution for speed try:

The Intel JPEG library here:

Hi, We recently built a very basic file management system for a client in Access 2003 (to use with incoming tif scans). In it we used Microsoft's Document Imaging activex viewer (from Office 2003). The viewer seems to be a bit 'buggy', in that sometimes if you preview a tif image using the activex on a form, then goto another form, and then come back to preview the same image again on the first form, the preview no longer shows up...

Hi, Our team have a web project which includes some C# ActiveX DLLs. On some developers' PCs, the code which calls methods in the ActiveX dll is succesful - no exceptions. On other PCs, the ActiveX control doesn't even seem to get loaded. (On the failing machines, if we try and debug down to where the ActiveX DLL method is invoked, both Visual Studio and IE hang.)
