Merge images

[Tim J La Fazia]

Is there a way to merge layered images in access?

I want to be able to have a image with transparency show above another
image.

I can do this and it looks great on the form but how do I group the two
into one bmp to include in another file (xls) for printing?

I don't think you can physically merge two binary graphic
files using Access.

I suspect you'll have to use something like PaintShop Pro to
layer the two images into one file then point to the new
file from your Access application. There is some form of
automation available with many of the common graphics
programs it may be that you could use Access to send OLE
(COM) commands to a graphics program to do what you want.
