Graphic filters for Access Runtime ...

[Guest]

Is it possible to buy the graphic filters included in MS Office seperately?
We have a number of MS Access applications needing graphic capabilities.
Currently we are using the graphic filters in MS Office. The problem is:
what if the client don't have MS Office? Are there any 3rd party products
that can be recommended to offer display/print of external images
(JPG/TIFF/GIF ...) in the MS Access runtime?

See:
http://www.lebans.com/loadjpeggif.htm
A2KLoadJpegGifGDIPlus.zip is an update to the function to allow for the
Display of Jpeg and Gif files on systems that do not have the Office
Graphic Filters installed. TIF and PNG formats are now supported via the
Microsoft GDI+ DLL. The GDI+ DLL is freely redistributable and available
directly from MS here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=32738

or on this Web site:

GDI+DLL.zip
Please take a moment to read the redist.txt file contained in
distribution archive. This file explains how and where to install the
DLL.

The GDI+ A2K version can easily be converted to A97 but you will have to
manually change all of the ENUMS. Frankly I am getting tired of
supporting both A97 and A2K versions mainly due to the lack of ENUM
support in A97. :-(

Thanks,

I am looking into your reply. Can your solution handle TIFF-images?

If you mean multipage Tif files the answer is no. I've meant to add this
support but I'm spending most of my free time golfing leaving little for
Access GUI programming. Another 2-3 weeks and golf season will be over
here and I will get back to programming on a regular basis.

Thanks for your reply. I have tested it with a (single page) TIF-file and it
seems inordinately slow. Perhaps it's my PC. BTW, I am quite impressed by
dbPix from http://www.ammara.com - especially the context menu's, but it
doesn't support TIF & GIF.

Hope you enjoy your gholf!
