OLE object as html??
Hello guys, having a really annoying problem. Whenever I
try to insert a picture of any kind into my databases, as OLE objects, they turn into html links instead of the picture being displayed inside the ole frame. Then when I double click the frame it opens the image in windows picture and fax viewer. it is freaking me out. Any tips or hints? |

... Hello guys, having a really annoying problem. Whenever I try to insert a picture of any kind into my databases, as OLE objects, they turn into html links instead of the picture being displayed inside the ole frame. Then when I double click the frame it opens the image in windows picture and fax viewer. it is freaking me out. Any tips or hints? Alexander, that is, by definition, the way Bound OLE Frames work. If all is well, they will display a "thumbnail" view and double-clicking will open the COM-automation enabled image processing program registered for that type of file. They are not "turning into HTML links", but, hey, it was a good guess. 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. Larry Linson Microsoft Access MVP |
