Insert image help

[Guest]

information on property owners water service. In my datatbase I made a place
for drwaings; each owner has a seperate drawing but not all owners need a
drawing. The drawing's are use for water vavles that may be hard to find or
trace. When I first built the data base I had no trouble inserting the
scanned in drawings into the correct owner address. I scanned the image in
and saved it asa bitmap and then inserted. Since we had a crash of the
database and now I am unable to insert a bitmap into the drawing. Everytime I
get a drawing inserted it shows up on every account. My problem is it has
been about 2 years since I built the database and I can not remember how to
insert tje picture. Do you do a bound, unbound or what. I have the area for
the drwaing labeled drawing.

The sample imaging databases at http://accdevel.tripod.com illustrate three
approaches to handling images in Access, and the download includes an
article discussing considerations in choosing an approach. Two of the
approaches do not use OLE Objects and, thus, avoid the database bloat, and
some other problems, associated with images in OLE Objects.

If you are printing the images in reports, to avoid memory leakage, you
should also see MVP Stephen Lebans' http://www.lebans.com/printfailures.htm.
PrintFailure.zip is an Access97 MDB containing a report that fails during
the Access formatting process prior to being spooled to the Printer Driver.
This MDB also contains code showing how to convert the contents of the Image
control to a Bitmap file prior to printing. This helps alleviate the "Out of
Memory" error that can popup when printing image intensive reports.
