[AccessD] A2007 Click event on images not working.

Hi Darryl

Strange. And I cannot explain; I don't develop in A2007.

Gustav,

Thanks for this suggestion.  It works, although like many thinks in A2007 it
is an extra step needed now to make this work.  I am a little surprised that
the properties window will let you add a click event to a JPG, if it is not
going to work or anything.  So much of A2007 feels half finished.

Cheers
Darryl

Hi Darryl

Couldn't you position a transparent button on top of the picture frame?

Well, hopefully it is just something stupid I am doing, but what a right
PITA Access 2007 is to develop in.  So much of it is just plain annoying.
Today's major whinge is pasting in an image (say JPG) and trying to create a
click event on it and....

Well, nothing happens. You can create the event without bother, but clicking
on the image does not trigger the event. Apparently this was a known bug on
tabbed forms but was fixed in SP1 (we are running SP2 on W7 Ultimate OS).

If I create a picture object using the ribbon the click event works.  Well
that sounds fine and dandy, but doing that screws up the image quality.
Suddenly the image goes from being sharp and crisp to a splodgy mess.

So I can have a pig ugly image with a click event that works, or a nice
sharp and clean image that does nothing!  Why can I do this in A2003
seamlessly and consistently without any issues and in A2007 nearly
everything is just designed to irritated the cr at p out of you???  How did
they get it soooo wrong and make the most basic tasks more time consuming
and less functional.  Heads should roll I say.

Sorry for the rant, late in the day here and a simple little form is now
turning into a pain.

I would love someone to come back and make me look like a complete dill "You
need to set the click parameter to true" and it will work fine. Please...
Anyone?

Cheers
Darryl
