Display images in continuous forms

[Jenny]

I have a problem displaying images in a continuous form. The same image is
displayed for all the forms. The path for all images is stored in my table.
I call a procedure to display the images. If I move to the next record the
image in the record is displayed in every image in the forms.

hi,
confused. how may forms do you have and what do you want
to do or how do you want to it done?

 

[Jenny]

I have only one form. I want to display images from a catalogue with a
description. I want to display it in a continuous form. I have 445 images.
When I open the form I have one image displayed for the 445 records. I want
to display a different image for each record.

You can not display different images in form continuous view.
Use Single View form.

i don't this you can to that. you might be able to put one
image control on your form and display the current record.
you can do that in a report. but not a continuous form.
yet. wait untill the next version.

You can't do this. What I would do is thus use a sub-form to show the
continues data on the left side, and then have the image show on the right
side as the user navigates.

You can see some screen shots here if what I mean. While the following
examples on the "right" side don't show a image, but in fact show another
continues form, the ideas here would apply displaying a fixed image on the
right side in place of the example I have with data displayed.

As others have pointed out, you can't use this technique to display a
different image in each record of a form.
This technique works fine, though, in a report.
If all you need to do is create a printable catalog, you may be fine with a
report.

You could consider storing small images directly as OLE objects in your
database, but it will certainly bloat the file.
Since you're not actually displaying all 445 images at once, you could write
a form which would only display a screen-full at a time...

Or you could display the image for the selected record in the form's header
or footer - only one image at a time.

Good Luck!
