It's probably possible, but I suspect you'll need some sort of graphics
program to do it.

 

[David C. Holley]

Probably, but this wouldn't be the forum for it as Access doesn't have
that capability. You're looking for an application such as Adobe
Photoshop or another photo editor.

 

[Douglas J. Steele]

Access doesn't have the capability. If you need to do it from within Access,
you're going to have to find an appropriate Graphics package that supports
automation, or one that supports command-line options so that you can use
the Shell command to run it.

 

[Roy Goldhammer]

Maybe. But this process must be run by access

Because id depends on some atcions that are taken from access

Roy when you say Merge what do you mean exactly?

You could add a method to my vbPictureBox class to accomplish what you
need to do. Do you have any experience working with the GDI?

Not going to happen. Access is first and foremost a database
application. The capability to control the other applications is an
add-on to expand its functionality. Graphics manipulation is beyond its
capability. You're only option, if you want it controled by Access to
develop your own application using C.

Whell Stephen

I get list of tif Files. Each tif has one page only.

My target is to create one Tif file that has all the list of tif files.

The action must be run by access because it is part of huge program which
part of that must merge the tifs to one tif file.

Can you help me on it?

Sure, no problem now that you have stated exactly what has to be
accomplished.

Two methods. One is very straightforward requiring very little VBA
programming. The other method would take a couple of hours to create
from scratch but I would bet you could find a ready made sample in VB
that could quickly be ported over.

Method #1: ***Requires Office 2003***)
Use the MODI(Microsoft Office Document Imaging) ActiveX control. It
exposes methods that would easily allow you to create and modify
multipage TIFF files.

For detailed info on the control and sample source code see:
http://www.ilixis.com/developer.html


Method #2:
Modify the GDI+ sample MDB on my site that allows you to view single
page TIF files on an Access form without requiring the standard
Microsoft Office Graphics filter for TIF files(no longer included with
Access2003).

Roy I would suggest you donwload the MODI archive from MS. It has an
excellent HELP file for the MODI object model. There is a Document
object that exposes a Create method. THis method can also be used to add
additional TIFF files to the current document.

The download also has sample VB source code.

Thankes Stephen

The tool works fine. after i add referance to Microsoft Office Document
Imaging (MODI)

I'm working with access 2003 and on my computer it works fine.

Will it work on compuyer with access XP?
Will it work on compuyer with Office Standart and Runtime XP?
And will it work with compuyer with Windows 98?
