Working with pictures in MS Access and SQL Server -
how 1 go about:
- getting images/pictures sql database
- viewing pictures sql database using ms access form?
i use odbc link between 2 databases no problems @ all, i'm struggling understand need achieve i'm trying achieve.
have tried google, haven't yet come across right information.
getting pictures in , out of sql server database:
you need getchunk , appendchunk functions that.
here's tutorial: how read , write blobs using getchunk , appendchunk.
tutorial bit dated, far know still best way load/save pictures in database vba.
note in sql server, should use varbinary(max) field (instead of image suggested in tutorial) store pictures.
displaying pictures in ms access form:
you can't display picture directly database. have load database (see above), store in temp folder , display there.
to windows' temp folder, use environ("temp") or the gettemppath api function.
to display picture can either set background of form:
me.picture = "c:\...\temp\picture.jpg" ...or use image control:
me.nameofimagecontrol.picture = "c:\...\temp\picture.jpg"
