ACC: How to Embed a Bitmap Object in a Report at Run TimeLast reviewed: August 29, 1997Article ID: Q161010 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYModerate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills. This article provides a method for embedding a bitmap image in a report at run time using code. The example uses an image control to store the bitmap instead of an OLE object frame. You can use Visual Basic for Applications code to embed an OLE object into a control on a form at run time. However, this method requires that you set the Enabled property of the control to Yes and the Locked property to No. In a report, OLE object controls do not have Enabled or Locked properties. However, bitmaps and other graphic images can be embedded in an image control on a report. This article assumes that you are familiar with Visual Basic for Applications and with creating Microsoft Access applications using the programming tools provided with Microsoft Access. For more information about Visual Basic for Applications, please refer to your version of the "Building Applications with Microsoft Access" manual.
MORE INFORMATIONCAUTION: Following the steps in this example will modify the sample database Northwind.mdb. You may want to back up the Northwind.mdb file and perform these steps on a copy of the database.
