Displaying .TIFF files in an Access 2000 application

[Brad Pears]

We are developing an Access 2000 application where we want .TIFF files to be
displayed in a window (activeX control) on the screen. We have tried
different controls available - all to no avail. We want something that will
allow the user to zoom in/out, scroll, size to fit and print. These are log
home floor plans and elevation drawings etc...

Does anyone know of an existing or 3rd party control that will allow this?

Thanks,

Brad

If you have not had any luck with third party ActiveX controls perhaps
you should consider performing all of the tasks completely with native
Access controls.
To show you how to allow the users to Zoom, scroll etc. see:

For printing just create a seperate Form or Report containing a single
Image control. Allow the user to select the ouput size, adjust the
output form's/report's Image control to the desired size and resize the
Image use the control;s SIzeMode prop and finally programmatically print
the form/report.
