Forms :: Button To Link To Image

Apr 10, 2013

I'd like to put a button in a form that when clicked opens an image on the computer, the location of which is already specified in a field called RefImage.

When I change the hyperlink property I can only have the button open a folder or internet address rather than a unique image for each individual record.

If I use the code builder for the event on click and try to write Application.FollowHyperlink RefImage it gives me error message 490 that it Cannot Open the Specified File, but this is probably because I don't know how to write VBA.

Any simple way to make a button on a form open an image in IE or windows image viewer which has a path specified within a field of the form? Perhaps someway to use the Application.FollowHyperlink, clearly I am doing something wrong.

Command Button To Link Forms

Apr 6, 2006

Alright I give up. I searched the forums and read up but still not grasping it. I know I've done something like this before but my brain must be dead today.

So I have 4 important tables. I have a main one and 3 tables that have records related to the main one. They're all the "many" sides of the one to many relationship with the main table. Outline is below:

Main Table:
EMP_ID (Primary key)
...and other fields

Employment Table:
HIRE_ID (Primary key)
EMP_ID (for relationship)
...and other fields

Insurance Table:
INS_ID (Primary key)
EMP_ID (for relationship)
...and other fields

Skill Table:
SKILL_ID (Primary key)
EMP_ID (for relationship)
...and other fields

So basically what I'm looking for is to have a main form pop up that has the Main table information (employee info). Then on that form I want 3 command buttons, each one going to a new form that relates to the three tables above and is relative to the Main table. Each employee may have several hire/fire listings, insurance listings (if they change their insurance), and skill ratings (updated as they improve). When I have set all my relationships so that the EMP_ID on the Main table has a one to many relationship with all the EMP_IDs on the other tables. When I create the command buttons though and start to populate a record in one of the three "subforms" the EMP_ID is not populating to be the same as the EMP_ID from the main page thus making me unable to create a record because it doesn't recognize a related record.

What the heck am I doing wrong

Forms :: Option Button Link To Invisible Subform?

May 8, 2014

I have two option buttons, 1_optn and 2_optn. I have two subforms, 1_frm and 2_frm.

When clicking the little round dot (the option button) for 1_optn, I want the subform 1_frm to become visible. Likewise, when clicking 2_optn, I want the subform 2_frm to become visible. In the properties panel, both forms visibility is set to No.

I have tried creating a Macro and the best I've gotten is using the OpenForm function but that opens up the forms in a new window. I'd set the Macro to the OnClick event for a combo box (as I couldn't get the option button to work) so when "1" is clicked, the form would pop up. But they have to be in the same form. No pop ups. It also has to be an option button, not a combo box or list box.It also has to be a Macro. No Event Procedure coding unfortunately.

Is it possible to have a cmdButton open a pre saved image from your hard drive. The images are saved with the same name as the Account Number. (ex: AcctNum -- TA123409 Image -- TA123409.bmp) I want the cmdButton to open the image filtered or based on the Account Number. If so, could someone show me a sample OnClick code. Thanks

Custom Button Image Transparency Problem

Dec 5, 2006

Hello,

I made some custom icons for use with command buttons, and I made them ICO
files with transparency.
However, after I assigned them to my buttons, there's a light grey
background colour - which doesn't look all that great.

Is there a way to import images with their transparency intact? There must
be, since Access' built-in buttons are transparent.
Do I need to use a different image format? Or are there other tweaks to make
this work?

Thank you.

How To Do A "relative" Image Link To Save Space.

Sep 5, 2005

I have a database that I migrate to different locations as we change stations (military). I keep the master on my C: drive and then put a copy onto the shared network drive. I keep my images in a subfolder of the master db.

example:

C:Pirate (master db)
C:Piratedbfiles (where I store the images)

I have the images "linked" on the forms to the subfolder "dbfiles" that is on the shared drive. However, as we change locations the drive letter changes for the shared drive. I want to make a "relative" link to the pictures in the properties box as so:

Piratedbfilesimage1.jpg
or
dbfilesimage1.jpg

However, it keeps putting the C: in front of the text or else it won't find the images. I desire it to look in the subfolder of the active db (whether or not it is on the LAN or hard drive).

I know I can embed the images, but that exponentially increases the size of the db. I've played around with putting them in a table, but couldn't make that work either.

Oh, Access 2000.

Thanks,
Brian

Link Pictures And Adding Browse Button

Jun 29, 2012

My job has recently decided that I need to build a database of test pictures, I've read many forums on the link pictures / putting browse button as I gather it makes the database too large with attachments.

My problem is I think I grasp the concept but I cant seem to use the code / Im not sure where im actually putting the code.

e.g imgControl.Picture = CurrentProjectPath & subforldername & Me.ImageName

Where do I put this ? does this go in the field or in a macro ?

Also for the browse to button I have this

Private Sub Explore_Click()
' Gets a filename from the filedialog control and puts it into
the
' "Filename" textbox control.
' Be sure to rename the Common Dialog Control "cd1"

[Code] ....

When i try to put this into a button it doesnt work.

I've attached my amazing database for reference, you will see pictures attached, these were before I knew about linking and I want the links to work like the attachments.

(Using access 2007)

Help! Cmd Button Link To Unique Hyperlink Stored In Table

Aug 23, 2005

ok, I have links to documents(reportLink) stored as type text in a table (Investigations). Each link is different per record.

I have a form that display information from this table. The field that holds the hyperlink is called reportLink on the form. On this form I would like to have a button that when clicked will open up the [reportLink] for that particular record. so this button will point to a different file each time the record is changed.

I have stumbled around this site and think I have to put the
Application.FollowHyperlink code in the OnClick event for this button. However, I am clearly not doing it right as it isnt working. what is wrong with this:

Private Sub Command34_Click()
Application.FollowHyperlink Me.[ReportLink]

End Sub

Modules & VBA :: Changing Image Path - Set Picture Property Of Image

Dec 4, 2014

I have a form that I would like to update a picture on using VBA. The source of the picture path is in part a query that is not bound to the form. So far I have the following code that is pretty much working, but with a couple flaws.

Code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
LoadDefaultPicture
End Sub
Sub LoadDefaultPicture()
Dim db As DAO.Database

[Code] ....

This is working. However, when I change the record the picture flashes the current picture once and then loads the new picture. It is like it reloads the current picture then loads the new one. I'm hoping there is a way to get rid of the flash.

Also, the code fails here:
strDefaultPictureName = rs.Fields("AttachmentName")

When the query does not return a record. I can definitely fix this by adding an if statement to check for a record, but I'm kind of perplexed at why it is failing at that line. I would expect it to assign an empty string to that variable name and then fail on the next command where I try and set the ".Picture" property of the image.

Forms :: Image On A Form

Feb 10, 2014

I have been tasked to scan family pictures in such a way so they are available to older family members to identify people younger family members dont know. My solution is to scan each photo, name them 1.jpg, 2.jpg. about 4000 images. Store them in a directory (H:Family). I then want to create a form that will use the PK which is an auto number to pull that numbered picture into the form where someone can enter the other fields. I have fun with Access but this is well above my knowledge level!!

Continuous Forms Image Problem!

Aug 17, 2006

Good morning everyone,

Thought I'd cracked my image problem by using the folllowing code I found in the microsoft resource.
Works fine in single form view however I have now created a new form that is displayed in the continuous form layout.
The image displayed for each individual form is the same as the rest dependant upon which form is highlighted at that time.
Any ideas how to get each forms own image displayed, prefferably using a similar code.
The images are linked to the database by a field in a table and the forms displayed are query results.

Any help would be fantastic, :)
Thanks for reading, Matt

Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
CallDisplayImage
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Current()
CallDisplayImage
End Sub

Private Sub txtImageName_AfterUpdate()
CallDisplayImage
End Sub

Private Sub CallDisplayImage()
Me!txtImageNote = DisplayImage(Me!ImageFrame, Me!txtImageName)
End Sub

stDocName = "Edit Form Search"

Forms :: Displaying A Hyperlinked Image

Dec 5, 2013

I have a database which creates hyperlinks to a network folder full of images (too many to attach to the database) but I can't figure out an easy way to show those images in forms and reports. I think I'm 90% there, looking online I figured out that if i create a text field (not a hyperlink) in the original table and copy over the hyperlink text, I can use this as the control source of an image control (with the picture type set to 'linked').

That works fine, but I would still have to manually copy over the URL every time I link to a new picture - so is there a way i can get this to feed through automatically?I've tried a couple of ways already (calculated fields, 'set value' macros) but the problem is anytime I try to get clever, Access doubles the link address, making it utterly useless as a control source.

So for example, i ran a macro to set the text field value to equal the hyperlink value of c:mydocspicture.jpg,
and the result looked like this c:mydocspicture.jpg#c:mydocspicture.jpg#Or maybe there are functions similar to excel (like 'left' and 'len') which i can use to extract the right part of the hyperlink.

Forms :: Image Display On Subform

Aug 15, 2015

I have two tables, tblAdmin (which contains my attachment field, a logo) and tblRecords (which contains customer records.I created a form (frmMain) that displays customer records, and hooked frmMain to qrySelectCustomer, which is a query that... you guessed it!... selects a particular customer to view. I wanted the logo to appear at the top of this form, but it's in a separate table. I need to allow the database owner to go in and swap out one logo for another whenever he wants (if the business changes or whatever) and all my subsequent forms/reports have to pull this logo.

I can't use any kind of DLookUp for the image/attachment, because DLookUp only fetches text not images, so what I did was create a subform called frmLogo and hooked the subform to tblAdmin where the attachment resides. It works perfectly when I just open the frmLogo, the image displays as it should. But when I open frmMain, I get a parameter value prompt because it can't find the image! Even though the subform frmLogo that's on frmMain is hooked to the correct frmAdmin table!

I tried several things, but the only thing that solved the problem was to ALSO hook frmMain to tblAdmin, which I do NOT want to do, because then I have to create a THIRD form for the customer data and hook THAT to qrySelectCustomer!
