Hi,
Before I go on, let me just say I'm fairly new at this so excuse me if I
say the wrong thing or use the wrong term.
Anyway, what I am trying to do is to set up something where I can have a
database of images and associated details. I want to run the system on a
machine with a dual-head video adapter and have the Access window,
showing a form, on one screen and an image viewer program on the other
(the 'other' will actually be a digital projector). I don't want the
images to be embedded objects in the database, but separate jpg files. I
will record the file name in the database and pass it to the image
viewer to open.
I've got some way using Irfanview but there are problems.
- Irfanview doesn't support OLE so I have to run it using Shell, which
is ok except that the screen 'jumps' and you see the underlying desktop
each time a new image is loaded. What actually happens is that Irfanview
is restarted with a new image. I just want to tell the exisitng instance
to load a new file.
- Irfanview keeps the focus, which isn't the plan as a) someone can
inadvertantly change image, and b) I need to have the user key some dtat
in and it needs them to mouse click on the access form, which isn't very
slick.
Any ideas? Microsoft Photo eEditor supports OLE, but I've only been
able to use it in a embedded way.
ANy advice? Maybe I'm coming at it all wrong, in which case I'd
appreciate being 'put right'.
Thanks, John

Hi
You could diplay the picture on a pop-up form actually part of the
Access application.The pop-up form has its own window and can be
placed on your second screen.
If you don't like the Access image control you can find some others
free at Stephen Lebans web site.

Hi David,
That's excellent. Didn't think of that approach for some reason - trying
to be too complicated. :-(

The pictures are mostly scanned newspaper atricles which are too big

I have a third party image viewer that can display various
types of images. The image viewer is ActiveX and lives
inside of Internet Explorer.
To get the image viewer to retrieve an image, java script
on the client looks something like this:

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...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
