inserting pictures in a report

V

vlh

Hello everyone,

I would like to insert a picture on a report based on user input. I have the
user input part working like a charm, but am unsure on how to change the
picture. Specifically I would like to add a bmp file of a signature on a
certificate based on what teacher taught the course.

Thanks,
Vickie

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.

How do you do this in Access 2003? I tried and got stuck on step # 2 of
"Display Images in a MS access Report". I was able to use the Image tool and
was able to select an available image (which was one of the images I want to
display) and said "OK"... now what?
THanks
