Rotate a Picture

[ksmith]

Hey guys got a question about pictures. The boss want to create an application that will serve as a training aid.

Not real sure about the ActiveX part of Access. Can it be made to rotate a picture. We would need to have a picture of an object and rotate it 90 degrees or more.

I guess what I am asking is we take one picture of the item 'sideways' and another picuture at '90 degrees', and get ActiveX or some other software to fill in the blanks as we rotate the picture? And still manage the application from within Access.

UPDATE EDIT: I think for now I am going to make a table, one record for each item and have in the attachment field as many photos as needed. With at least two, one sideways shot and another at 90 degrees.

Here's the new question can you make make something like the record selector to change just the pictures in the attachment without changing to a new record? I know there's a built-in function that comes with the attachment feature and it will work, but I was wondering if you could do the same thing but with bigger controls?


Thanks in advance for your help.

Honestly - this is doubtful. I know theoretically anything can be done with code. But it is swimming upstream. In fact, with a database in general one does not even save an image into the db itself. One links to the image file which resides outside the db, and only the link path info is stored in the db.

This ActiveX control is very inexpensive and has a free mode to test with. I think it may be what you are looking for but I'm not sure. You can certainly give it a shot. I have *NO* association with this company other than helping test his product.

Let us know if it works. I deleted the duplicate post.
