AccessImagine is ActiveX component to make storing images in various projects as easy as possible. It:
·supports JPEG, BMP, GIF and PNG  file formats
·stores images in JPG format to preserve space
·works with Access and other database applications
·generates previews in JPG and OLE format (for displaying in continuous forms)
AccessImagine design time options
These options are available in property inspector, when you design a form, report or application.
MaxWidth and MaxHeight
If the image exceeds this constrains, it is proportionally scaled down. This applies only when image is saved, preserving full image size for cropping.
StoragePath
If you like not to keep images in database, specify the location for them. In this case bind component to database field that is to hold image file names. Examples of valid pathes:
·“D:\MyWork\Images”
·“\\Avenger\Incoming\Pics” – local network path, useful for centralized storage
·“Pics” – subfolder in folder, where your database file is stored
·“.” – keep images in the same folder with database file
EmptyImage
You can select the appearance of control when it is empty. It can be a Contact sign, Photo sign of simple gray brick (None).
AccessImagine scripting options
Image
Represents picture in control, you can read and write it to manipulate with images.
Changed
Checks if image was changed from the last time this function was called.
PreviewJPG(Size) and PreviewOLE(Size)
These functions generate small previews of image in control. Size specifies the longest side of preview, if omitted it defaults to 64 pixels. If you need to save OLE previews along with your images,  insert this in Exit event procedure of AccessImagine object:
If <AccessImagine>.Changed Then <OLE preview field>.Value = <AccessImagine>.PreviewOLE
LoadFile(filename) and SaveFile(filename)
Use these functions for batch processing and advanced manipulating. SaveFile saves images only in JPG format.

AccessImagine is ActiveX component for storing images in various projects as easy as possible. You need to place it on form while designing your application and bind to some database field.

AccessImagine features:

  • JPEG, BMP, GIF and PNG  file formats support
  • store images in JPEG format to save space
  • get images from TWAIN and WIA devices
  • get images from video sources (including webcams)
  • paste image from any Windows application
  • in-place image croping tool
  • HTTP images display
  • OLE fields support
  • previews in JPEG and OLE formats (for displaying in continuous forms)
  • external image storage
  • on-click big image display

Design time component properties

These options are available in property inspector, when you design a form, report or application.

Background

Specify the control background in hex form (i.e. 00000 is black and FFFFF is white)

Cropping

Cropping type selection:

  • Proportional – cropping tool keeps control’s proportions
  • Normal – crop any proportions
  • Auto – images are automatically cropped to control’s proportions on insertion

EmptyImage

You can select the appearance of control when it is empty. It can be a Contact sign, Photo sign or simple brick (None).

MaxWidth and MaxHeight

If the image exceeds these constrains it will be proportionally scaled down. This applies only when image is saved while preserving full image size for cropping.

StoragePath

In order not to keep images in database you need to specify a location for them. Bind component to database field which holds image file names in this case. Examples of valid locations’ paths:

  • D:\MyWork\Images
  • \\Avenger\Incoming\Pics” – local network path (for centralized storage, etc.)
  • Pics” – a subfolder in the folder, where your database file is stored
  • .” – keep images in the same folder with the database file

If empty.jpg image is present at StoragePath location, it will be used for empty control display

HideButtons

Set this to “Yes” if you don’t want to show the control buttons. It will look just like regular image this way.

OnClick

You can select the control’s behaviour when the user clicks the image.

  • None – do nothing
  • ShowFullPicture – show picture in new window, scaling it down to fit the screeen, if it is too big
  • ShowPanPicture – show picture in new window 1:1 size, giving the ability to pan via a hand tool
  • OpenPictureFile – open picture with the external application, that is associated with JPG filetype

Scripting options

EmptyText

The text shown where there is no image (usually “No Image“). Can be set to empty string.

Image

Represents the picture in the control, both reads and writes are allowed.

ImageBind

Data bound to control (like ControlSource). Use it for late binding or if usual field binding is not available (i.e. at Access 97)

InstantScan (delay)

Makes instant scanner/webcam image capture without user’s assistance. Will wait delay seconds after device initialization before taking image (it may be needed for some cams that adjust focus/brightness at first few seconds).

Changed

Checks if image has been changed since the last invocation of this function.

PreviewJPG(Size) and PreviewOLE(Size)

These functions generate small previews of the image in control. Size specifies the longest side of the preview, if omitted it defaults to 64 pixels. If you need to save OLE previews along with your images,  add the following code to Exit event procedure of the AccessImagine object:

If <AccessImagine>.Changed Then <OLE preview field>.Value = <AccessImagine>.PreviewOLE

LoadFile(filename)

Loads image from file or web (HTTP).  Supports JPEG, BMP, GIF and PNG  file formats.

SaveFile(filename)

Saves image to file.  Supports only JPEG format.

Scanning

Set to 0 to disable Use device button. Set to 1 to activate instant image capture without any dialogs.

TurnRight and TurnLeft

Rotates image 90 degrees clockwise and anti-clockwise.

Copy

Copies current image to clipboard, making it possible to paste image into another application.

Crop X,Y,X1,Y1

Crops the image with the given coordinates rectange.

PicWidth and PicHeight

Return the bitmap image dimensions.

Paste

Inserts image from the clipboard.

Rename(filename)

Rename file in external storage. For that cases, when you need to overcome auto-generated names.

Scan

Aquire image from last used source.

ScanSource

Read/write property, id of image source, where -1 is WIA, -2 is TWAIN, -3 is Microsoft WDM, 0 and up – direct webcams.

  5. I am using the control to scan and store images in a SQL table as OLE datatype. But when I scan the images in or import from a file, it shrinks the image to maybe 2/3 the original size. I then put the same control on a report in Access as we want to print the images and it does the same thing. I have tried to play with all the settings in the control and in Access to change this. I tried to resize the control on the form and just get grey or black areas around the image on the screen and printed. Does the control only show small sized images? Anyone else having this issue or any ideas what I need to do different?

    Reply
    • AccessImagine control should be resized properly. Just make sure that you do not drop it in form cell, or it will behave wrong there.

      Place new AccessImagine object somewhere there is nothing on form, then move to desired location.

  10. I really love this program but I have one issue I cannot find a fix for. Can you give an example of where and how the SaveFile(Filename) is to be used? In the control property sheet, which “name” does it want to go before .SaveFile? Data/OLE Class, Data/Class, Other/Name? Instead of it saving as “Scan.jpg” I would like to give it a specific name using VBA (or in one of the Property Sheet areas if that is how it is done). Currently I am using fso.CopyFile for “On Enter’ or “On Lost Focus”, but I need it to always save as a name I give it.
    I am a paid registered user, and I am wondering if this is supposed to go under “Other/Custom” but it show pulls up the AccessImage version window, and maybe that is the issue?

  15. I’ve been using your control for about three years now and it works fantastic in my application. My DB is run from a network drive and the image storage is in a sub folder on the same drive. What I am experiencing now is extreme save times when dragging and dropping a new image on the control. Sometimes it take upwards of a minute for the file to copy and the image to appear while locking the computer from any other function until it completes it’s task. I know that this is being caused due to the number of images being stored in the folder (roughly 75,000). If I direct the control to a new folder the process of dragging and dropping is lightning fast. Unfortunately due to historical records in the DB and the way the original program was written I cannot change the image path. Is there a way for the control to put the image in the sub folder without it waiting for the 75,000 picture index to load on each drag and drop? Just copy the image without querying the folder itself?

    Reply
    • I think I know what is going on. More likely you have default AccessImagine naming scheme.
      Lets say, AccessImagine tries to save image as «image1.jpg». It checks if filename is taken, if yes – it checks if «image2.jpg» is taken – and this cycle repeats 75000 times in your case.

      You can prepopulate image field with some unique filename for new records. AccessImagine will write image to that filename without checking the folder contents.

  17. Thanks Max. It is installed, I’ve been using this OCX for almost 4 years now and everything was working fine until I updated to 1.74. I was able to roll back to 1.73 and everything works again, so it must be a glitch in the 1.75 update.

  19. Hello,
    after a few nights spent looking for a solution to my problem, I gave up and I am writing to you for support.
    Using AccessImagine on a continuous mask form, as per your suggestion I used the thumbnails and designed an edit form that opens when you click on the selected thumbnail. Everything works if the form’s data source is a table. On the other hand, if the continuous mask form is based on a query or otherwise filtered, saving the thumbnail from the modification mask causes the error <>.
    Of course, the record or field is not locked as it is saved before opening the edit form.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.

  20. Hi – I hope you can help – I have a database on SQL Server, everything was working fine with the image bound to the controlsource, though everything was a little slow. To speed things up I from using a bound form to using an ADODB recordset and now the images wont display at all. The images are in the database there as they show if I rebind the data to the form again.

    Its also works if I assign the image using DLookUp().

    A test script below, what am I missing?

    Private Sub Form_Load()
    Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
    Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset

    rs.Open “SELECT * FROM dbo.stock WHERE stockID = 55”, cxnDb, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
    rs.MoveFirst

    Picture8.Image = rs!StockImage

  22. Testing Access Imagine 1.74 on my Access 2007 report hoping to eliminate an Access problem of skipping images in a random order. The Report prints a description and then 1-7 Images. Access Imagine prints the first description and the images associated with it. I get more descriptions but no additional images on the entire report. The database contains the description and the location of three images per record. It is also very slow.

  23. Hi I found I could not save storagepath location in the properties unless the folder already exist. (At development time I will not know where the end-user of my software might want to set up the Image file store location)

    I was able to see the storagepath location on the form Onload Event, as follows:

    Me.Picture0.StoragePath = “C:\temp”

    Any picture then added to the picture box was saved in the C:\temp folder. I intend allowing the end-user to select a store folder location (UNC path stored) and store the folder path in the DB. Then each time the form is opened programmatically setting the image panel .StoragePath value each time the form is opened. Is this the most efficient way to arrive at a variable solution for the location of the external image store path.

    Thank you

However, I would like to programmatically (with vba code) be able to insert a large number of images that are present externally, in a given folder on the disk, and to embed them. I could start with the sample db provided by AccessImagine, for example. What would be the code? If I use Insert Into statements, what would be the syntax? Thanks.

    Reply
    • Unfortunately, I do not know how to insert images directly into DB without using AccessImagine object on form.

      The easiest scenario is to keep that images externally. If you specify StoragePath to picture folder and bind AccessImagine object to the field that corresponds with image names (with or without .JPG), AccessImagine will display them automatically and will allow all the operations like edit or insert.

  39. A rather strange case. I have an MS-Access form with Accessimagine activex control. If I enter the control and capture/add a pic stored on my disk, it works fine. I can also add, delete and edit/replace pics this way. Now, if I take this this form and use it as a child form (as a subform) in a parent form, adding and deleting pics work alright, but editing/replacing the originally saved pic does not. I do get to the buttons that let me choose a new picture to replace the existing one, but it is not saved in the end – the previously saved picture that was entered when I added it first remains.

    I went through all the troubleshooting and testing I could think of: ensuring that the child form allows editing, that the activex control buttons are not hidden, that it is not locked, etc… but to no avail. I will keep trying, but would appreciate it if you have any advice, suggestion or idea. Thanks.

  42. Hi,
    I’m having a issue trying to save the images in an unbound object.
    The path works correctly but the image always want to be returned as scan..

    Private Sub Form_Load()
    ””Works correctly
    Dim path As String
    path = “c:\temp\”
    Pic.StoragePath = path
    End Sub

    Private Sub Pic_LostFocus()
    Dim PicName As String
    PicName = “test.jpg”

    ”Does not work

    Pic.SaveFile = PicName

    End Sub

    • SaveFile is a method, not a property. You do not need StoragePath in this case:
      if Pic.Changed Then Pic.SaveFile “c:\temp\test.jpg”

  43. Is there a general way to handle rotation? Better yet, is there a way to use the EXIF orientation to set the rotation of the photo? I am using your Access Imagine add-on to read a jpeg image from an SQL Server record. It works pretty well. Thanks for any help.

    • Unfortunately, AccessImagine do not work with EXIF.
      Images can be rotated 90 degrees with .TurnRight and .TurnLeft methods.

  45. Hi – is there a way to preview the camera before taking the image?

    Reply
    • AccessImagine shows camera preview with Shoot button.

      • Sorry what I mean is a live feed of the webcam so that when you then trigger the InstantScan you already know what it should look like

        • Nope, AccessImagine doesn’t have such a function.

  46. I am trying to extract image from my database, where I have saved and displayed by AccessImagine, using the code:

    Private Sub Command5_Click()
    For i = 1 To N
    Picture3.SaveFile (“c:\MyPics\” + Str(ID) + “.jpg”)
    DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
    Next i
    End Sub

    Access shows error message at the semicolon after the drive c (“c: ), with error message:

    Compile Error:
    Expected: List separator or )

    Please help, I don’t know where’s the mistake
    Thanks

  47. I have the control in a subform with a storage path “//host/path/pics. The host captures and saves pics properly. However network users can only see them … the app freezes when network users try to save one.

    • Please make sure that the folder is accessible for writing from that computers.

  48. Hello. Any plans to release a version newer than V 1.74? Not that 1.74 is not working well – it is in fact – but I’m just asking, out of curiosity… perhaps a new release with more performance, more features! Thank you.

    • Unfortunately, no further development of AccessImagine is planned.
