Microsoft Web Browser ActiveX Control - Continuous Form Capability

K

We have inserted a Microsoft Web Browser ActiveX Control into a form we are
currently developing. When we run the form in form view and in continuous
forms, the web browser will only work for the currently selected record.
Does anyone know of a way to make this web browser work so that all images
are displayed, regardless of how many records, and not just the currently
selected record? Thanks,

Ken

If you are loading/navigating the control in the 'OnCurrent' event, this is only fired for the first record.
Additionally, bound ActiveX controls cannot be used in continuous mode.

Usually, the only option in this situation is to use a fixed layout of controls, each loaded independently
in code, then page through the recordset. This also avoids decoding and allocating memory for a potentially
very large number of images, which would cause a progressive performance degradation as the record count
grows.

An example of this with code that you may be able to adapt is available here:

Thanks - tried the link you entered in your reply. That would be great if we
were just showing up samples of our designs, but it wouldn't be suited for
our particular report, where we're just trying to show sales information by
particular design. We were hoping to be able to build a form showing rows
with different designs to a page. We can put this together ina data access
page format, however, we don't particularly like the navigation bar that
shows at the bottom.

Thanks again.
