OLE Object not accepting a screenshot

Hi All,

I have built a form to accept OLE Objects. Namely, I want users to drop a screen shot into the OLE object and then will be accepted into the table.

This works fine i have saved the object down and then "drag and dropped" the screen shot into the OLE window.

However, when i use snipping tool to just copy and paste the screenshot into the ole object, yes it saves the file into the main table but i cannot reopen the file?

I appreciate its very difficult to explain this over a forum, please let me know should you need further assistance.

Manny

RE: OLE Object not accepting a screenshot

Hi Manny,

Thank you for the forum question.

I have create a database. Created one table where one field has the data type OLE Object. From this table I have created a form.

I have created some png files using the snipping tool. I copied the png files and pasted them in the Ole object control on the form. The png images were saved in the table and I could open them both from the form and the table.

It works fine in my database.

Sorry but I cannot tell you why it is not working for you.



Kind regards

Access tip:

Splittng a database

Split your database into two (at least).

Keep all of your code, forms, reports, etc. in one 'code' database and all of your tables in another 'data' database which is then linked to the 'code' database.

This makes modifications, updates and back-ups that much easier and allows you to work on a new version of your 'code' database without affecting existing users. It also makes it easier should you wish to convert a single user databases into a multi-user networked version.
