Import JPEG progress dialog gets stuck

[bhammer]

A2003
In normal operation my subdatasheet has an On Current event that loads
the current record's linked JPEG image into the image control on the
main form. Access dispalys a very brief dialog showing the progress of
loading the image, then it vanishes.

Problem: This dialog will remain on the screen, however, if the user
right-clicks (context menu) on another record other than the current
record. The image will load as normal and all other behaviors are
normal--it's just that the progress dialog won't go away. To do so
requires exiting Access, then opening the Task Manager to kill the
MSACCESS.EXE process that is still running (the dialog).

Is there some code I can use that will, perhaps, suspend either the
context menu or the loading of the image if the user right-clicks on a
record other than the current record?

I found a post from Stephen Lebans dated Feb 6, 2006 that solves this
issue for me, too:

The one thing you must do is turn of the Loading Image dialog. If you
don't,
and quickly scroll through the records in Form view, or page quickly
in
Print Preview, you run the risk of crashing Access. Use the Registry
mod at
the Access MVP site:


Additionally, two issues in regards to the Registry modification
pointed to
here http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0038.htm


1) The Registry key MUST be "No" NOT "no" or "NO"


2) On systems with XP or on systems with more than one user
account,
you must add/modify the key in both HKEY_CURRENT_USER and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
