    Need Update Help on Old Module

    I've had this module for years and now I'm using it again, but now I see its incomplete. The main issue is that when I cancel the cover browsing it returns with a No Cover Selected message (which is fine), but if a cover was already selected it removes it and I have to reselect it.

    All I'm trying to do is fix is that if decide not to select a cover to cancel the process (as it does) and return to the main page without removing the cover. Hope I'm making my issue clear. Below is the code in the Select Button and the called module:



    --------------------
    Select Button
    --------------------
    Private Sub Browse_Click()
    Me.ImagePath = LaunchCD(Me)
    Me.Requery
    MsgBox "Record Saved!"
    End Sub

    --------------------
    Module
    --------------------

    ' This code only works with Access 32bit '

    Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetOpenFileName Lib "comdlg32.dll" Alias _
    "GetOpenFileNameA" (pOpenfilename As OPENFILENAME) As Long

    Private Type OPENFILENAME
    lStructSize As Long
    hwndOwner As Long
    hInstance As Long
    lpstrFilter As String
    lpstrCustomFilter As String
    nMaxCustFilter As Long
    nFilterIndex As Long
    lpstrFile As String
    nMaxFile As Long
    lpstrFileTitle As String
    nMaxFileTitle As Long
    lpstrInitialDir As String
    lpstrTitle As String
    flags As Long
    nFileOffset As Integer
    nFileExtension As Integer
    lpstrDefExt As String
    lCustData As Long
    lpfnHook As Long
    lpTemplateName As String
    End Type

    Function LaunchCD(strform As Form) As String
    Dim OpenFile As OPENFILENAME
    Dim lReturn As Long
    Dim sFilter As String
    OpenFile.lStructSize = Len(OpenFile)
    OpenFile.hwndOwner = strform.Hwnd
    sFilter = "All Files (*.*)" & Chr(0) & "*.*" & Chr(0) & _
    "JPEG Files (*.JPG)" & Chr(0) & "*.JPG" & Chr(0)
    OpenFile.lpstrFilter = sFilter
    OpenFile.nFilterIndex = 1
    OpenFile.lpstrFile = String(257, 0)
    OpenFile.nMaxFile = Len(OpenFile.lpstrFile) - 1
    OpenFile.lpstrFileTitle = OpenFile.lpstrFile
    OpenFile.nMaxFileTitle = OpenFile.nMaxFile
    'Change directory location below'
    OpenFile.lpstrInitialDir = "C:\retrogamesDB\CoverArt"
    OpenFile.lpstrTitle = "Select a file"
    OpenFile.flags = 0
    lReturn = GetOpenFileName(OpenFile)
    If lReturn = 0 Then
    MsgBox "A file was not selected!", vbInformation, _
    "Please select a file"
    Else
    LaunchCD = Trim(Left(OpenFile.lpstrFile, InStr(1, OpenFile.lpstrFile, vbNullChar) - 1))
    End If
    End Function

    Please post lengthy code within CODE tags to retain indentation and readability.

    What do you mean by 'removing the cover' - remove from where - a combobox?

    Sorry but the posted code is as is...

    If I no longer want to browse for a cover in my hdd and select cancel, if a cover pic was already select and displaying on screen it removes it from the screen then I actually have to go and find it again.

    Tested code. All it does is return a text string for file path, doesn't open image file. So I still don't understand the issue.

    Change the Browse code to:

    Code:
    Private Sub Browse_Click()
        Dim strImage As String
        strImage = LaunchCD(Me)
        If strImage <> "" Then
            Me.ImagePath = strImage
            Me.Requery
            MsgBox "Image Saved!"
        End If
     End Sub
