I had to reinstall Windows 2000 Pro and
of course Access 2000. I HAD each record
displaying a photo but now it does not show
them. The WEIRD thing is that when I upload
the database to my website...the image shows
up! Is there a setting in Access that I need to
chnage because of the reinstall?
How were you displaying the images? There are a number of ways, and they
will differ between Access and any way you'd be displaying the image on a
website.
If you were storing them and displaying them as OLE Objects, perhaps you now
no longer have a COM-automation-enabled image processing/display program
registered for that image file type.
Here are some references that might help.
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 the images in reports, to avoid memory leakage, you
should also see MVP Stephen Lebans'
http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm.
PrintFailure.zip 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.
