yep that does it :-) thanx!!!!

not quite, a yes and no feeling. It's a nice way of making things easy. But VB has an object called app with a path property. this app.path returns the path from which the program works If you're program works from "c:\program files\myprogram" app.path returns "c:\program files\myprogram"...

Junt one thing: how do I get a relative path in there? I use fixed path now, but I want to be able to copy/move the database without having to change all (path) entries is there something like app.path?

just the compact and repair was what it needed, thnx I havv zipped it and I have sent it your ways. Thanx again QC

sorry -no go -did something stupid, changed the picture and it went from 630 kb to 14Mb I changed the picture to <none> and it's still 14Mb :confused:

Thanx, I will By the way, I circumvented the problem by using a baclup of the working form and adding the controls and setting the relations manually, however, I still want to know what I am doing wrong in the "other" version

i can't upload it, it's too large no matter how I trim it 128K, one entry,two columns, no embedded pics).

I changed my database by adding columns to the database hence I deleted my form and created a new one through the form wizard. NOW, I seem to have a problem in creating the right form/module to make the code you supplied worl... so it doesnt work (anymore) can you help me. I I have uploaded my...

sorry 'bout that, got it. the dutch translation says (translated) cropped, stretch, don't stretch. it's not auto-size bit don't stretch does what I want it to do. ( really hate these translations, even though it is Dutch, it is isn't a 1-on-1 unambiguous meaning, but then again, i'm not a dummy...

Can the picture frame autosize itself?

hey thanks, it's great! thanx again One thing: How do you turn it into a relative path? I can't seem to get app.path working :-(

thanx, but can you show me some codes for lost focus and such I am very acquainted with VB but in VBA in Access I feel a little lost. one of the reasons I do consider embedding the picture is to make the database/pictures independent of the location, but there are other ways around that problem.

it gives me an idea ... but not quite, I an very noob at Access. so I can understand what you say - but it leaves me with a lot of questions. First of all, the only control that holds a picture is one I have to choose a photo right away -thats the "image" control (curse all translations, I have...

Come to think of it... How do I path-relate this? Does Access store these pictures en-full in the database? Does Access autamatically refrence it to it's own directory? (analogue to app.path in VB) QC

I am making a simple database, so no worries there, but I want to ad pictures to it. for instance, you make a facepic database of all the people you know, you'd want to create a picture box in my form and if I add a person then add the picture. How do I go about that? QC PS: I tried adding...

yes, I also had to define a new column ... but THAT was easy: Access indicated that that needed to be done before autonumbering could be added. So no problems there

ah data type field -never would have guessed :( tnx :D

thnx for the reply That is the idea, unfortunately I can't find a property that says: " autonumbering: yes/no" or " autonumbering: on/off" so ... I can imagine that it is something I can easily add, I just don't know how :-) QC

Okay -there isn't actually a problem with autonumbering, coz I there isn't any autonumbering! I imported Excel data into a table and now I need autonumbering coz it didn't add this to the key (an ID nr) automatically

haha forgot that one, :D I got an error indicating an equal sign ("=") was expected, didn't think "msgbox(..) = vbYes" :eek: QC :p
