Lebans Transparent Image Control

[Surveyor In VA via AccessMonster.com]

Hello all-

I am working with Mr. Lebans' Transparent database and it appears that the
object becomes an embedded image in the database. To avoid database bloat, I
have linked all other images and at run-time, link each one to a file from a
local directory. I am wondering if it was possible to link to this
transparent image rather then having it embedded in the form?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
CF

Your assumption is incorrect. The Transparent solution simply creates an
Enhanced Metafile(EMF) from the selected Image. The Example Form contains
Buttons to both Load and Save images. Technically, you could convert all of
your Images to EMF's and save them to disk. But this in usually not
necessary. Simply use my solution to convert your original Images you load
from disk at runtime.

Have you looked at the code behind the sample form?
