3rd request about pictures

[Guest]

I am developing a database that will track customers coins. I need to know
how a different customer will be able to add pictures of his coins into the
database. Something like push a button and he can brouse for his pictures on
his desktop then enter them into the database. The customers are not
programmers. It is kind of like one of those websites wehere you can enter
your pictures for free. PLEASE HELP

TKM,

You need to setup a table to which will house the path to each image. then
you can use a file browser to allow your users to locate the image and save
the path. You can always display the image as well. Whatever you do, do not
save the images directly in the db (otherwise it will bloat, grow in size
extremly rapidly)! I would suggest performing a search in this same group
for 'image' as the details on how to do this have been posted numerous times.
I will try and find the code and get back to you shortly.

TKM,

Sreedhar wrote in another post entitled 'Insert picture' to "Take a look at
Northwind Sample db shipped with Access. Have a glance at Employees table and
form. That will give you pointers as to how to store only the path to the
pictures as text field."

I thought NW database has the employees pictures put in by the developer? I
wanted the new owners to click a button which would take them to a browser
button and they can incert their pictures. I also want them to be able to
view the pictures of teir coins on a form I have set up. Do I need to put an
unblund box on the form so the image will go into that box when they add
there coin? Thank you both for your help

TKM,

I inserted an 'image' element into my form, then using the currrent event of
the form I load the image associated with the current record based on the
text path to the corresponding hyperlink.
