Hello
I am in the early stages of my project development, and want to make
sure that I am approaching the issue of image display correctly.
Access2000. I have one table and a bound single form. I would like to
have one image (.bmp 100k or .jpg 30k) displayed on the form for each
record. I am using an ImageFrame to display my image, and the
following code to link the image to the display:
'In the InCurrent property of the form.
If Not (IsNull(Me.txtP hotoPath.Value) ) Then
Me![imgFrame].Picture = Me![txtPhotoPath]
End
The problem I'm having is the AutoRepeat capability of the lower
NavigationBar becomes disabled if a record containing a (.jpg) is
encountered. It has been established that the "LoadingIma ge"
dialog that Access automatically pops up is causing this. I noticed
that this does not occur if the image displayed is a (.bmp).
I'm sure that many developers are frustrated by this issue and I'm
wondering what my options are, considering that I want to distribute my
application to many sites that are single user and network based and
need to avoid options that will complicate this goal.
1- Since the LoadingImage dialog has not popped up with (bmp) files and
the AutoRepeat does work, should I commit exclusively to .bmp files???
Also, is it safe to say that I will not crash Access on a fast scroll
thru all the records (200 to 700) over a network when committed to bmp
files??? Or, must I somehow control the scroll speed or resort to a non
autorepeat scroll???
2-Since my image is displayed in a ImageBox, would it work better if I
used a Bound or Unbound OleBox???
3-Changing the registry is NOT an option because I plan to distribute
the application and this would require a registry modification to all
units before the app can be run. Is there a solution or concept of
displaying one image per record as described, using Access exclusively,
without 3rd party stuff???
4-It would be nice to accomplish my objective to include .jpg files
since they are very common! Are there any solutions that would include
this consideration as well???
ThankYou
Greg

When it comes to rendering images, in Access as in other software, "patience
is a virtue." There is more processing to be done, apparently, when
rendering an image from a JPG than from a BMP, but the JPG takes less space
to store. You can check MVP Stephen Lebans' site for an approach to
converting an image to BMP separately before displaying it, but that will
take time, too.

I know this may be a bit off topic since it is really a Teechart.net issue

I have a windows application that uses Teechart to plot several lines

this is on has buttons to allow you zoom in and out etc... However when the

Hello -
I am looking for the best way to store images in a Access DB.
My Idea -
I have a table with 150,000 records. These recoreds represent a Crash
(Traffic Accident).
I have 50 different images that represent almost any type of Accident.
Each crash record can be represented by one of those 50 images
(depending on the Crash Data).
I don't want to waste space by having each record have a BLOB field w/

Hi
I notice that in some cases, to get an icon, an object (for example a list
view) uses an image list, in others (e.g. a form) the image is selected from
the project resources, i.e. a file.
As I have images that I'd like to use in both situations I would like to use
the same method for each. Preferably, as I find importing images as
resources as often as not crashes VS, I would like to work with an image
list.
