Tables :: Limit Attachment Size And File Type To JPG
Aug 8, 2013
I have a field in my database (I'm using Access 2007) configured as Attachment under the DataType column on DesignView.
I was expecting to find an option to limit the attachment size (max 250Kb) and more importantly to limit the filetype you can actually upload. In my specific case only jpg should be attached.
is there any way to increase the size of the text field beyond the 255 character limit? I'm creating an incident report and its diffilcult to summarize an accident in less than 255 characters.
I am using Access 2007 and I am trying to create an attachemnt type field in a table. Yet when I select the types of Data Types, attachement is not an option. Can you possibly tell me why?
Hi - I have searched this board and cannot find anything that has worked. I'm hoping someone can help and maybe I've just missed it somewhere on this board. Here's the thing:
I worked for 3 months on a MDB and got it working the way I needed. I then ran it for the date range I needed and apparently hit a file size limit. I got the "invalid arguement" error and immediately stopped the query and did a "compact and repair". It looked like the compact and repair worked but then the mdb did not come back up as it usually does. I closed Access and tried to re-open the mdb. Nothing happens! No error - no nothing. It just plain will not open. I then tried to compact and repair again but that will not work even when I select it as the mdb to compact and repair. I even tried to open a new, blank mdb and link to the mdb that won't open..no go.
Does anyone have any suggestions on other things to try to get this to open again? Are the tables stored somewhere outside of the mdb that I can delete to make it smaller and open?? I'm grasping here..I know it..but i'm desperate to get this thing to open for me.
I am working on something and have to link I think a few thousand tables from a "store bought" database here at work. Is there a limit in regards to access? I know they are just linking but I didnt know if Access gets nutty after a while...
Anyone encounter functionality breakdown due to size or complexity?
I have a database of 700 or so records each with a image filename (the images are about 75kb). When I make a report from these records including the images it takes a long time, but eventually it creates the report on screen with all the images. However when I try to print the report the images are not there. Is it just that the spool file or is it a limit in access? Would adding memory to the printer help?
I have a database that has the table [tblAttachments] to store various attachments. In this table I have a primary key [ItemNumber] and an attachment data type field. This table holds all attachments for a Customer/Record.
What i am trying to accomplish is being able to code a command button to send the Attachment file (eg. various type of files .doc; .exl; .jpg etc) as an attachment in an email.
I have found some info on saving them to the local harddrive but this is not going to work for my specific needs.
I have table call "empTable" and it has an Attachment field called "Attachment". Some of the records has empty Attachment field and some record has one attachment and some has two and the attachment types are jpeg and pdf.
I want to remove all the pdf from all the records in this table automatically with VBA or something, is it possible? How to do it?

We are creating a report and for some reason we can no longer extend the detail section of the report. It has stopped at 2 A4 pages length and won't let us extend it further. We have about 7 pages of the report, I didn't think this was too much?
How to display attachment file name in a form? I have attachment field in my form and attached to 2 or more images. I put "Attachment.File Name" field under my attachment images.

Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?
I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.

I have created an action log database that sends an email when a new action is entered. I would like to launch the database using a hyperlink in the email, but can't seem to get it to work. All users have a copy of the front end on their desktop, so whatever I add to the email needs to launch the front end for any user signed on to their own desktop.
This is what I have and it sends a hyperlink but I click it, I get an error saying it can't find the file. I don't know how to word the path name for any user?
With obMsg .subject = "New action request for " & team .To = people
