MS Access Forum / New Users / November 2006"Lock" images together? and then to background?
I forget what it's called in another db app I use so I must just try to describe it. When I put two images together to create 1 merged image, I can lock those images together so that they act as one. Then I can take various elements and lock them to the background so that the user can't accidentally move them around. Can I do that in Access 97 and what are both these functions called pls? Thanks. > I forget what it's called in another db app I use so I must just try to > describe it.

Thanks. Is there no way to do this in A97? The short answer is no. Access is a database application not a vector based Image editing program. The long answer is maybe. You could embed your images as OLE objects if the Paint/Draw program used as the OLE Server, supports the type of image editing functionality desired.

I can do this in Filemaker, which is also a database application, but I can't do this in Access. Hmmm, wonder why?

Thanks. In Filemaker Pro, we can group items together so that they act as one unit. Then we can attach a button with a script to that so that the user can perform something in the database more quickly. That's one thing. Then we can lock elements of the database to the background. I just need to know what that's called in Access, pls. Thanks. :oD >> I forget what it's called in another db app I use so I must just try to >> describe it.

I don't believe that kind of functionality exists in Access. SignatureDoug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!) |
