Work on Access Icon

Re: Where are Access icons located?

ADezii: While I realize this was posted 5 years ago, I'm hoping that you still have a copy of this database hidden in your archives?

I'm looking for a way to increase the size of the pictures in the buttons for documentation purposes(Guides for Clients)and this method seems to look quite promising.

Are you able to help?

Hi !
I'm sure that ADezii will help you if he can.

Another way to do what you have to do is to use a photo editor (I have used Photoshop - see attachment) to extract images directly from Access interfaces.

Thanks Mihail,

Unfortunately I find that the pictures become quite blurry when extracting the pictures directly for the documentation I am putting together.

This will be for Client Documentation and manuals and will provide a site map of all the buttons and icons used within our program.
I'm after a fairly high quality pictures in larger format that I can reduce as necessary for easy veiwing across different documentation types.

Thank you for your suggestion though.

Regards,
Teddilly

Indeed teddilly.
Unfortunately, I expect that the images in DLLs to be also very small (because this images are used for icons). Maybe I am wrong but I don't think so.

So, I can imagine only one way to obtain good images for your tutorial:
Print the images (at their original size) using a very good printer and a very high resolution. Then use a photo camera to take very good pictures from this images.

I know: this sound as a hard work even for an old chinese guy.

Good luck !

I fear you may be correct about the small images Mihail.
I'm hoping to be proven wrong though.

I have one more trick left up my sleeve if this doesn't happen to work, though will prefer to use the images from the dll.

I'll do some research, and get back to you as soon as I can.

OK teddilly, here it goes:

Thank you so much ADezii
I'll have a play when I'm back in the office and check it out.
