How to avoid crash when linking picture?

[Guest]

Hi all,

I have a form that has a picture frame attached to it. When the user
navigates from record to record, the picture frame is updated with a new link
from the current record. (I do not store pictures in the table, just the
path)

Everything works correclty, however, if the user scrolls too quickly through
the records, the database shuts down.

Regarding to previous postings, we can edit the registry to solve this
problem.

However, my database will send and share with many users in different
countries, it may not possible for me to edit their registry.

Anyway to edit their registry by the VB code? or we can handle this problem
with other solutions?

Thanks & regards
Eddy

There is a simple solution which involves changing a registry setting:

A more messy solution is to disable the nav buttons until the load is
complete:

Hi Allen

I tried to disable the nav button, it really disabled when loading picture.
However, the issue still occur.

Anyway to use Code to change the registry?

Why use code to change the registry?

It would be possible to code it (I'm not sure of the details), but I suspect
the code would still fail if the user is not logged in to their computer as
a local computer administrator (i.e. if they have limited user rights.)
