image manipulation

[walwalla]

Hi,

I should manipulate an image (zoom and navigation) inside a form. The current project is ms-access database with internal forms and code.

I saw a sample of code that uses picturebox. Correct me if I am wrong, but this control is not supported in the VB in the access.

My questions:
1. Do you have any sample for image manipulation in ms-access project?
2. Is it possible to take the code out of the ms-access and convert the project to be a simple VB6 project that uses the access as external database?
3. Is it possible to write a VB6 application that loads the forms from the access project? (this way I would have to rewrite only the relevant form)
4. Is it possible to build a user control in VB6 and use it in the access project?

I believe the all the previous options are relevant, so what do you recommend? Do you have any link for beginner (in the VB field)?

Thanks a lot!!!

You can export the forms in access 2k and 2003 which I think can be imported into vb6 (not .net though).

Access should allow you to import / use controls (active x) for the image parts. The active x could be made in VB and used in Access.

You can connect a DB using ADO fairly easily in VB and then use VBs image controls perhaps?

Thanks,

I took your advice to use control (active x) for the image parts. The active x was made in VB and used in Access.

My current problem is the printing. The image from the activex is not shown in the printing.

are there any guide lines for building activex control that will be printable?
