Name Badges with Pictures
Hello,
My wife is heading up her 30-year high school reunion, which means that I am doing most of the computer work. She has issued an "executive order" to me to create name badges that include a picture of the classmate from the high school year book. All the pictures are already individually scanned and are on my harddrive. Right or wrong, in the table I created with their names, I added an OLE Object field called Picture. I then dragged the individual pictures to each record. My problem is that I cannot get the pictures to appear or print in a report. I think I need to embed the pictures but I am guessing at that. I looked at the Northwind sampel database and saw a sample of what I needed but had no clue how they did it. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks. P.S. |

Hi
I've done a similar thing without using OLE, check this link (it works on reports as well) http://support.microsoft.com/?id=148463 Gal "P Straube" wrote in message ...

Gal,
Thanks for replying to my query. Unfortunately, the article you had for me is way above my Access capabilities/understanding. And, I already have the pictures dumped into Access anyway. Still, I will try to study that for future reference. I think "all" I need to figure out is how to tell Access that the picture field is to be printed out with each classmate. No matter what I do inside a report or form, instead of a picture, there is simply a box for the picture with the name of the file that I dragged and dropped into the main table. I don't understand what else I need to do. Thanks again! I appreciate your time. -----Original Message----- Hi I've done a similar thing without using OLE, check this link (it works on reports as well) http://support.microsoft.com/?id=148463 Gal "P Straube" wrote in message ...
