Re: [MS_AccessPros] Placing 30,000 images. Now it works.

 

hi Peter,

great! As you can see, in a query, a column is table.field whereas a form control name might be just a fieldname. In the case where 2 fieldnames are the same (which is a bad idea), the dot becomes an underscore since dot is not a legal character in a controlname.

Please give me a few examples of how you currently store your path and filenames, thanks

Hi again!
Now it works!!!!
I deleted several lines of VBA code, so now it looks like:

Private Sub Form_Current()
   With Me.Webbrowser20
      .ControlSource = "=" & """" & [picURL] & """"
   End With
End Sub

Are there any problems by doing so?

Thank you very much Crystal, I am impressed by you energy.
I will now stick to the method in your samples, they can give the result I want.
I am now trying to implement the method in a test version of my DB, which I first converted from Access 2003 to 2013.
In the main table "AlleSamlere" I made a column "picURL" (with some random URLs for practice).
In one of the forms I placed the webbrowser with AlleSamlere.picURL as control element, and copied your VBA code to the relevant place for the form.
The form is opened with input from a combo box with a query as post source.
However, when I try to open the form the VBA code stops at "With Me.AllleSamlere.picURL".
It says "Compile error. Methods or data member not found"
But after Stop/Reset/Run the form is displayed correct showing the page for the URL in the tabel "AlleSamlere". Strange!
If I type the VBA code line "With Me. " a drop box appears with several options, but "picURL" or "AlleSamlere.picURL" are not in the listing. This might be the problem?
The only thing I can think of for the time being is, that the transfer from mba (2003) to accdb (2013) has some errors. Is that possible?
Do you have any suggestions?
Best regards

I believe so. I cannot help you do that without researching and experimenting, which is above expectations for a free forum. I suggest you look at getting professional help. Hopefully what has been done so far will be a good foundation.

that is what I wanted to know, thanks! Your English is very good!

By the way, take care not to include personal contact information like phone and address when you post -- I've been removing it when I respond. Perhaps it is a saved signature and you can choose an option not to show it?

Hi Crystal
I am not sure I understand your question concerning categories.
The posts in the database have an ID like AB1234 (and the associated image will be AB1234.jpg).
The images are placed in 90 directories
...\RODS\AB
...\RODS\CD
etc.

Thank you for your tip concerning Filezilla, it will be useful.
However, my question was not file transfer as such. It was about avoiding to make 30,000 htm files - one for each image.
So I am hoping that there is a way to "send" the image ID (like AB1234 or AB1234.jpg) to the server when the browser window in Access looks for e.g. http://www.myhomepage.dk/.../RODS/AB/AB1234.htm.

hi Peter,

to keep images path shorter, I am going to use "img" for the directory name. It will take a few days to put the code together because I have other things to do too. Are your images in categories?

Peter, I'm not sure how you transfer files. I use FileZilla, which lets you right-click on a folder and transfer it, as well as everything below, to the web server. So creating folders for categories would be pretty easy to transfer too -- it will just take some time for the computer to do it, but you can do something else while that happens.

FileZilla is a free FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program.
https://filezilla-project.org/

here is a screenshot showing how I propose you structure your images and HTML files where Category1, Category2, etc, would hold the HTML files and the images would be in the respective image folder below. Maybe you already have them in separate folders?

hi Peter,

you're welcome and thank you.

Rather than using www.myhomepage.dk/RODS/PR/PR1234.htm, it would be better to preface the link with http://  or https:// for a secure link, if your web service allows that. Put one of them on your website and then click in the URL bar to copy the link to see what it actually says, such as http://myhomepage.dk/RODS/PR/PR1234.htm

I will make an example to generate the HTML files on your computer. Then you would only need to transfer them to your web site. You should consider putting the images into categories so you don't have 30,000 files in the same directory. It will be a lot easier to manage.

I will now try following:

2. The query opens a form with all information and the image. The present picture box is replaced by a controlelement for webbrowser with the path for the htm code as controelement. The path is generated by the associated module and will for the first image be: www.myhomepage.dk/RODS/PR/PR1234.htm
3. On the server there will be a htm code for each image, in this case PR1234.htm with the text <html><img src="PR1234.jpg">.
This code is only 28 bytes, so it's not a problem having 30,000 of them, but it is not the most "elegant" solution?
Is it possible to pass the image ID (e.g. PR1234) on to the server, or is the small htm file neccesary for each image?

perfect, Peter! Then you're set!

I updated the example and put it here:

This one also shows the simplest example of the HTML you could create. The longer HTML examples were done in case you want all the metadata, although I left out keywords in the Head, which you may want

When you are looking at an HTML page, you can often press Ctrl-U to see the page source ... not in Access, but if you put the link it is rendering into your browser.

Re: [MS_AccessPros] Unique values in 1 query

 

There is a generic function at https://www.tek-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=4233 which does this. If you can't figure out how to implement, you need to come back with sample records and desired output. Table and Field names are important.

Subject: [MS_AccessPros] Unique values in 1 query
 


Hello all,

I have a table with reports to information. the table has columns with each of the levels of Reporting (see below).

I need to create a query that will get the unique values of all the levels into one column. It will be used as the row source for a combo box.

Is there a way of doing it in one query or do i need to create multiple queries?

Thank You

Jim Wagner

for example
Level 5 has 2 employees which is the executive leaders
Level 4 has 9 employees which are Directors
Level 3 has 20 employees which are the Supervisors
Level 2 has 40 employees which are the Assoc Supervisors
Level 1 has 33 employees which are the Leads.
