Multi Page Images

Thanks in advance for any help you can give. I have a form with an image
control. I am viewing images based on a path indicated in a field in the
table. These are tifs and it works well. The problem is: I was able to see
the multiple pages of each tif and now I cannot. I have changed every
setting I could find and only see page one. When I view the docs in an
external program - there are multi pages.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
Did I word my question badly, because I know there's some pretty smart folks
out there? Is it possible to view a multi-page TIF in the image control? If
not, will any other format work or does anyone know a product I can use?

I would really appreciate any suggestions!
 
I would suggest you GoogleGroups search on this issue. THe native Access
Image control does not support multipage TIFF Images. If you have a suitable
Paint program that can function as an OLE Image server then you can use an
OLE Frame control to display your images. Other than that, as you mentioned,
you would need to find a third party ActiveX control that works correctly on
an Access Form.

I'm not sure if this third party Access compatible ActiveX control supports
TIFF files or not.

Thanks Stephen,

Unfortunatley the DBPix viewer doesn't even support tiff according to their
tech support or it would have worked for me. I just saw the "look out
warnings" about using OLE and didn't consider that. I will have to learn a
little more about it. If I use the linking instead of embedding will it
cause the problems that I read about? I do have other applications but I
didn't know how to have them open in a window on a subform - they want to
pop-up and take up the whole screen. Would that be solved by the OleFrame
you mentioned? Can you give me a little direction on how to begin?

Thanks so much.
