[AccessD] Silly Graphics

Thanks, Lambert, I'll try that and let the client check it out.  We can always stick with his 'bat' if necessary.

Liz,

You can go ahead and design a bitmap (say 32 x 32 pixels) and save it as a
BMP file.

When you add it to the button, by browsing to the location you saved the BMP
file to, access will load the bitmap and store the data "somewhere", so that
when you then move the mdb, or the bmp file, the button will still have its
new fancy image attached, as the bmp file itself is no longer needed.

I have not tested this by moving the mdb to another machine with no access
to the BMP file used to create the image. But it seems that the image might
be getting stored in MSysAccessStorage as a Blob, in which case is *should*
move with the MDB file.

Dear List,

I'm in the middle of the annual upgrade of a project for a long time client.
He's "always" had a flock of the Access built-in bitmaps on his buttons, and
he loves them dearly.  This year we're adding a new button, which he really
wants to have decorated with the camera. 

Here's the problem:  no matter what I do to the button, the camera is very
small, so small it looks exactly like a bat!  This doesn't bother the client
much, but it does bother me.   Since it doesn't bother him, of course I
can't go to a custom image, because that would require more installation,
set up, etc, for his users, of which there are hundreds.

Is there a quick way to make that Access camera image appear bigger? 

Thanks,
