Thumbnails of photos in access database
How do I get thumbnails of photographs in an Access Database

Brian,
I probably did this the hard way, but I added an OLE field to the table definition, created my own thumbnails folder using an image editor, and then "linked" the thumbnails to the OLE fields. All this may sound easy, but I ran into numerous technical problems before I got it all working, most of which were related to the problems of using any OLE object with an Access database. In my opinion, the Access designers did a poor job implementing this capability. I made sure that the thumbnail images had the same file name as the primary key of the database records. This made it less confusing when I linked them. By the way, I keep the full-sized images in a separate folder using the same file names. So I have three entities - the database itself, the thumbnails folder(s) and the images folder(s). Hope this helps. George "Brian Gregg" Brian wrote in message ...
