Multiple image handling

[Pamela]

Can an OLE object hold more than 1 photo? I need to have up to 75 photos per
record (linked is fine) and a fast way to attach this many photos per record.
Everything I've seen here is for a single image or individual attaching not
multiples at a time. Any help would be great! Thanks!

You might like to take a look at a file I posted some years ago at:


http://community.netscape.com/n/pfx...libraryMessages&webtag=ws-msdevapps&tid=23913


It works by storing the paths to each image file in a related table, and
allowing some or all these to be viewed on demand as each record is opened,
using a lightweight image control rather than an object frame.

Adding an image to a record is by means of the common file open dialogue,
using Bill Wilson's freely available class module (slightly amended by me),
allowing you to browse to an image file. Once added an image can be
captioned.

I'm not sure how up to date the file is as I did at some stage add another
feature in response to a request by somebody, which allows a report to be
produced in which not only can one or more records be selected, but specific
subsets of the available images per record to be included in the report. If
you'd like the current version mail me at:
