Hallo,

How can i insert a image (jpg) by VBA? So clicking on a OLE object field should pop-up a browse for jpg screen and after selecting image and clicking OK the image should be inserted into the field.

Also: would it be possible to check the file size (<= 50 kb) or image size (e.g. <= 85x113) on inserting the image in the db and show a message box if either of the values is off.


Thanx for any tips.

Regards,
Harmannus

It is not recommeded that images be stored in a database. This can close databases to bloat in size. The recommended method is to store the path to the image file in a text field. Then use an Unbound Image control on forms and reports to display the image. This is done by using the On Current event (On Format for reports) to assign the path to the Picture property of the control

i.e; Me!imgPic.Picture = Me!txtimgPath

There is a demo of this technique on Candace Tripp's site.
