Show picture of employee from northwind database question

[Guest]

I have a recipe database I created and it has the ability to let the user
store a picture of the recipe based of the code from the northwind database.
It however will flash very quickly the importing picture from box. But on
slower computers it takes a little longer to disappear and if the user is
rabbit clicking (superfast) through the records sometimes the box will stay
above the form and the only way to get rid of it is to close access. Is
there code to write to disable the importing from dialog box to stop this
undesired behavior

Thanks for the help

This page should give you what you need:

API: Suppress the "Loading Image" dialog

I use allot of pictures in a Work Order database I have. If you reduce the
picture to a small size like pocket PC you will never even notice a delay.

If you do not stop the "Loading Image" Dialog via the Registry modification
you will run into two issues:

1) Access can crash if you scroll through the reocrds too fast.

2) When printing a Report, Access may run out of resources and be unable to
complete printing the report.

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.
