Problem with access and vb
Right thought this would be a simple task i am so frustated. Basically i have a database with pictures. i understand basic vb and access but never tried this before and thought it would be simple when i load the form instead of the picture being in a picture box it is a jpeg or bmp icon which you click on and it loads up in a photo application say paint. What's the point in that? I want the pictues on the form. Tried everything including package settings but that won't even let me change view to picture. Is there some code i can put in and where would i put it so that it ativates when the form loads and when records are changed.
Help would be very very helpful i will email a copy of my game when it is finished as well if you can provide the answer |
