access thread: Linking Pictures


Message #1 by rwalker@w... on Thu, 24 Jan 2002 16:56:30
Hi,



I want to link pictures that are save on a hard drive to a form and 

report.  The picture will be different for each record.  Can anyone tell 

me how to do that?



Thanks

Yep.



1) Add the control containing the URL of the image - make it invisible (call

it 'ctrImage_URL')



2) Create an Image control (unbound) - call it 'ctrThe_Image'



3) In the OnPrint event of the DETAIL section add the following code:



If Not IsNull(Me![ctrImage_URL]) Then

    Me![ctrThe_Image].Picture = Me![ctrImage_URL]

End If



That should be it!



/Andrew

Hi,



I don't see the onprint event in the DETAIL section.

In a report, if you double click the 'Detail' bar (header), there is an 'On

Print' event on the 'Events' tab of the properties box... 



With a form you'll need to use one of the form's events - perhaps 'On Load',

'On Open' or 'On Got Focus' ?? Not sure, I've never tried it.
