Embedded Pictures

[bw]

I have embedded pictures in my Form. I now want to SAVE those pictures to my hard
drive, and then link to those pictures.

I don't know how to save the pictures and/or convert them to jpg files, as they were
previously. I no longer have the original pictures...

Can someone explain?

Thanks much,
Bernie

I though you stated that the images were embedded in your Form? Perhaps
you meant you used a form to embedd images as OLE objects. ANyhow, I
must have left out the Intel DLL on the last update a few weeks ago. I
will fix that now and post a new version containing the DLL. Give me 5
minutes.

Thanks Stephen,

The web page link refers to a file A2KExportOLEtoJPEG.zip, and on that page, you
recommend using it instead of the "older" versions on that page. This appears to be the
file I need, and it seems to work like I would like it to work, BUT, the file "ijl15.dll" file is
NOT included in the zip file, as was indicated. I also couldn't find it on Intel's site.

Can you provide a separate link, or send "ijl15.dll" to me directly?

Thanks,
Bernie

Stephen,

Your program seems capable of converting my embedded OLE objects (you were right, I
mistatted my problem), but the DLL seems to be having a problem.

Everything works ok until I try to create the JPG file (the last step in the process, step 8).
The "Current OLE Field's Contents" is displayed correctly, but...

I get the following dialog box:
Intel(R) JPEG Library

with the following message:
! IJL error-10)-Failed to save to JPG

I get a dialog box (error message) for each image in my database.

Do you have a suggestion?

Thanks,
Bernie

Are you sure all of the embedded objects are Images?
Are you sure you have followed steps #1 to #8? IN particular, have you
selected a field to name the exported Image that contains a string that
will translate to a valid filename?
I know the code works and have received about 100 messages telling me
the code works perfectly. An errors have always been linked to
incorrectly filling in steps #1 to #8. GO back and take a closer look at
what each step is asking you to do.
Let me know.

Steven,

IT WORKS!

I screwed up step #4. I didn't realize that this field was going to be the name of the new
file created. I know, I know, that's was the instructions say, but...I'm a little slow.

I was getting the error previously because I was giving step #4 the same name I had
selected in step #3. Slow, and dumb.

Anyway, the code works, the dll works, and my files are converted. I really appreciate
your help and code.

Thanks again,
Bernie
