Display Web Images in Access

Malcolm P Galvin Jr

I followed your Genealogy Tech Help video and setup the database. Using an Image control to display stored images on my C: drive works great. I did want to share the database with all my relatives, but having everyone store pictures on their C: drive seemed to be too much. I uploaded the pictues to a web site on line. They would not display using an Image Control. I had to use the Web Browser control to display the images. Now I can not get the images to properly display (fit within the demensions) in the Web Brower control. Do you have a fix for this?

No, unfortunately, this is one of the limitations of the classic web browser control for Access. However, the new modern browser supposedly has much better image handling control and display. I haven't worked with it much yet because I'm still waiting for them to iron out all the bugs, but I know other websites like DevHut have spent more time working on it. I do plan on looking into it in the future.

Duh, I had a momentary brain fart. That's why I shouldn't respond to posts first thing in the morning before I've had coffee because my brain isn't fully functioning yet. I forgot that I covered how to do this in Images From Web.
