Re: [MS_AccessPros] How to get image file display on a report

With deference to John, I'd store the full path in a table used solely for that purpose. Then, I'd store the physical *.jpg file names in the table wherein I needed the image. Then I could concatenate the full path with the file name when I needed to display the image. I'd save each image file in the folder referenced by the full path record. This would also allow for normal backups to be run to ensure the integrity of the image files.

My reasoning is that "things change" and this includes the servers or locations of files. If the location of the saved image files changes, one need only update the single record in the full path table rather than to have to update every reference to an image file in the table in which the image file name is stored.

Thus endth my 02 cents.

Khalid-

If all your files were .jpg, you could store the full path in the table in a text field and use an Image control to display the pictures. But you have some pdf files that the Image control won't handle. If you display the report in Report view, you can add a command button right on the report to do the display using FollowHyperLink.

Hi All,

Hi John,

I have a report "Members CST Visa Summary" its Record Source is "Members CST Visa Summary Report Query"

Query SQL is as under:

SELECT CstVisa.MemberID, CstVisa.SurName, CstVisa.GivenName, CstVisa.GenderStatus, CstVisa.PassportNo, CstVisa.CstName, CstVisa.VisaAppliedDate, CstVisa.VisaCollectionDate, CstVisa.RefNo

FROM CstVisa

WHERE (((CstVisa.CstName)=[Forms]![Members CST Visa Summary Dialog]![cmbCstName]));

I need to display stamped visa scanned copy of any member. Is there any way to show OR open the image on a report for specified "CstName" and "MemberID".

OR should i make a form and put a command button to open the file as I am displaying members Passport copy on a form with the following code:

Private Sub cmdViewPassport_Click()

Dim strFile As String

On Error GoTo Err_cmdViewPassport_Click

strFile = CurrentProject.path & "\Passport\" _

& Me.cmbMemberID & ".pdf" 'Change this to suit

If Len(Dir(strFile)) = 0 Then

' Look for .jpg

strFile = CurrentProject.path & "\Passport\" _

& Me.cmbMemberID & ".jpg"

If Len(Dir(strFile)) = 0 Then

' Neither found - display error

MsgBox "Passport file for member ID: " & Me.cmbMemberID & " not found."

Exit Sub

End If

FollowHyperlink strFile

Exit_cmdViewPassport_Click:

Exit Sub

Err_cmdViewPassport_Click:

MsgBox Err.Description

Resume Exit_cmdViewPassport_Click

End Sub

Need help and suggestions to manage it.

Best regards,

Khalid
