    Inline Images with Text

    Precurser to the question:
    https://www.accessforums.net/access/...such-2647.html




    ok..

    so I got my Reports displaying correctly (for the most part)

    when i go to print preview I have 3 colums set and it ends up in 3 rows..

    so I have 9 "cards" displaying on one page.. This is great!

    The problem is that when i go to the next page and it loads the data, each of the 9 background images load (import) and I notice my MSACCESS.EXE in my Task Manager starts eating memory (about 70-100MB per page). Once i've loaded about 5-6 pages (for print or preview) it errors and says "Run-time Error '2220'; MS Access can't open the file '(my image path)'

    Why are my images causing access to just fill up on memory? Is there any way to fix this?

    My images(jpegs) are about 100k-200k (they need to be high quality for print) each max.

    Please help with this as I have about 30 pages (of 9 "cards") to print.

    I am using the below VBA code to generate the images from my path field:

    Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
    If Len(Me.TemplatePath) > 0 Then
    Me.Template.Picture = Me.TemplatePath
    End If
    End Sub


    I am also still looking for a way to take text from a cell and have "keywords" display as an image. EX:

    Textbox:

    "Be sure to use the one with the {image here} symbol first."


    please help.

    ok... everything is printing! (no thanks to anyone here.. but anyway..)


    Next question... How do I get images inline with my text.

    I need something like...

    "This is a text box and I need an image right in the middle of text! This smiley face is a great example! So is that one!"

    can someone please point me in the right direction?

    Sorry that no one here had a suggestion for your problem. Do you care to share your solution with us? As for your next issue (which should have been in a new thread BTW) I believe you will need to use RichText for that but I'm not sure.

    The problem was simply that the path was incorrect for 1 cell.

    The path had a , instead of a .

    I tried looking up the RTF and I couldnt find anything that described what I was looking for.

    again.. I just was my Data cell to look something like:

    "All of this great text is fine but i need a (!S) to help and if I dont get a (!S) then i will be (!F) and that will be no good."

    and when I print my report it needs to show like:
    "All of this great text is fine but i need a to help and if I dont get a then i will be and that will be no good."


    any help would be greatly appriciated.

    Maybe Stephan Lebans code will work for you.

    That is close.. Some of it was over my head but i got it so i could put a image inline.. the only problem is that it actually stores the image in the data field in the database. I want to use an outside image. (so the database only stores my text content and my "symbol" to call the image path) I was hoping i could just use the vb code part of access to define my image paths and what "code/symbol" should be replaced by that image/image path.

    I cant have the images stored in the database.

    I appriciate all the help you have given me. Do you know of another good forum to try and get this info? Or possibly an email of a Access Guru.

    This seems like it should be a fairly simple script... but maybe not.

    Any last ideas?
