Pictures in reports in Access 2002

[Tony Lennard]

Hello all,

I have a database of links to bitmaps, eg c:/pic/001.bmp, and I want
to display the pictures in a report. Is this possible at all?

Thanks for any info,

Tony Lennard

Put an Image control (called say "imgMyPic") in the report's detail section:

Private Sub Detail_Print(Ca ncel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
imgMyPic.Pictur e = [MyPictureFieldN ame]
End Sub

The sample imaging databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com illustrate three
approaches to handling images in Access, and the download includes an
article discussing considerations in choosing an approach. Two of the
approaches do not use OLE Objects and, thus, avoid the database bloat, and
some other problems, associated with images in OLE Objects.

If you are printing compressed images in reports, to avoid memory leakage,
you should also see MVP Stephen Lebans'
http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm. PrintFailure.zi p is an Access97 MDB
containing a report that fails during the Access formatting process prior to
being spooled to the Printer Driver. This MDB also contains code showing how
to convert the contents of the Image control to a Bitmap file prior to
printing. This helps alleviate the "Out of Memory" error that can popup when
printing image intensive reports.
