Love the control, by the way. Greatest find yet for my model train inventory database. Stores all pics externally and saves them as JPG (unlike my current program, which SAYS jpg but they are actually BMPs)

AccessImagine is one of the most productive tools I’ve found in a long time. It saved hours of work and is so simple to use that it makes the average Access user a power user instantly when the goal is to insert images.

That was f**** awsome! I loved the way you have solved it with the sliding button's and the easy drag-and-drop. This is good programming :)

This is awesome! Just what I was looking for. Thank You
How can I send the ole object to a sharepoint list
Table Name: tblNamesList
Field 1 Name-Text
Field 2 HR-Text
Field 3 PicNo1-Text (image file name)
Field 4 PicNo2-Text (license file name
I installed two controls on the same form.
Control One: for the image of the person, ControlSource: PicNo1 & StoragePath: c:\documents\xyzco\images
Control Two: for same person’s driver license, ControlSource: PicNo2 & StoragePath: c:\documents\xyzco\licenses
When I run the app, I can take an image with Control One or Control Two, but not both. I have to close the app and start all over to use the other control.
Is it possible to use the two controls together?
Also, currently the image files are named scan, scan1, scan2…
Is it possible to name them with the field value in Name and HR for each record on the fly without using a renaming batch file? I looked in the VB tab to write a script, I could not see any of the codes only the Project Explorer folder name.
Thank you for taking the time to help.
You can just bind AccessImagine to the ID field that contains the desired filename (without .JPG). No picture field is required in this case.
