[AccessD] How To Display an Image from a Pervasive Database table Via Access 2007

[Jim Lawrence]

One comment Brad. Things may have changed since a decade ago but I have found that improvement in MS Access tend not to progress too rapidly. My one recommendation is to not embed pictures within the application just call any images from their own directory as necessary.

Subject: [AccessD] How To Display an Image from a Pervasive Database table Via Access 2007

All,

We have a purchased accounting package called Sage Business Works.

Pictures of products are stored in the Business Works database (Pervasive).

>From the product documentation I see a field named "Image".

When I connect to the Parts table, with Access, I can run a query which shows the Image field as "OLE object".  All of the other fields are shown (text fields, numeric fields)

I have never worked with images before.  I would like to be able to display these images with an Access form or report.

I have done a number of experiments, but I have not been able to see the images with either an Access form or report.

I must be missing something.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Brad
