I need to have images (student photos) printed in a report (as ID cards). I cannot find a clear, definitive discussion on how to manipulate images in access. I have 2K at home, 97 at work.
When I use directions from KB Q158941 to load OLE objects from a folder into a table, the resulting images all show up as miniatures in the Bound Object Frame and have the file name beneath each. I cannot change the size using stretch.
Northwind has images of their employees but their table OLE Object item field contains the words “Bitmapped Image.” My table Bitmapped Object field contains the word “package.” I have a reference to the image file, they do not.
It would seem to me that SOMEBODY has written a guide to using Access to store images or pointers to image files so that digital photos can be stored in personnel files and used for things like ID cards printed on the ubiquitous color printers.
Where can I read about this?
