Microsoft Access 2019 Report. Automatically Resize Image Control - image

Insert and resize a picture in an access report
Solution by Ms Isabel Smit aborts at first line of code.
My Report textbox [P1] populated by query has links to *.jpg files.
But code, Me.Image46.Picture = Me.P1.Value does not work. Get error msg Run-time error '94': Invalid use of Null.
Neither does Me!Image46.Picture = Me![P1] Run-time error '13': Type mismatch
Neither does Me!Image46.Picture = Me![P1].Value
Works if Me!Image46.Picture = hard coded filename but it defeats objective of each record to link to different filename.
Thank you

Updated Solution with validation:
I built your form and tested it. The only time I got it to fail was when the path to the image was invalid. Please try this:
Dim strFilename As String
strFilename = Me![P1].Value
If Len(Dir(strFilename)) > 0 Then
Me![Image7].Picture = strFilename
Me![Image7].Height = 9666 * Me![Image7].ImageHeight / Me![Image7].ImageWidth
Me![Image7].Width = 9666
Else
MsgBox "Image not found"
End If

unable to upload the pdf document in .net 2.0 and getting exception error

I have developed a application where i am uploading the PDF files and binding it to Gridview. I can upload less size files like up to 3.5MB after that i can not upload PDF file as i get error message like "Server Error in '/STAT' Application. Runtime Error" or "Page can not be displayed (while testing in local system)"
Technologies used :
vs 2005
.net 2.0 and it is web application.
I have pasted the code below which i wrote :
Protected Sub btnUploadSTPI_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUploadSTPI.Click
Try
If txtStpiRegNo.Text <> "" Then
If txtfilepathSTPI.Value <> "" Then
Dim objDS As DataSet
Dim UploadFile, UploadPath, strFile, sUploadPath, sUploadfilename As String
Dim arr As Array
UploadFile = txtfilepathSTPI.Value
UploadPath = UploadFile.LastIndexOf("\") + 1
strFile = UploadFile.Substring(UploadPath)
sUploadPath = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("UploadTempFile").ToString()
arr = strFile.Split(".")
strFile = CType(arr(0).ToString() + "_" + txtStpiRegNo.Text + "_" + System.DateTime.Now.Second.ToString() + "." + arr(1).ToString, String)
sUploadfilename = sUploadPath + strFile
txtfilepathSTPI.PostedFile.SaveAs(sUploadfilename)
objDS = Session("TempDS")
If objDS.Tables.Count > 1 Then
Dim objRow As DataRow
objRow = objDS.Tables(1).NewRow()
objRow.Item("UploadFileName") = arr(0).ToString()
objRow.Item("UploadFilePath") = strFile
objRow.Item("CompanyID") = ddlCompany.SelectedValue
objRow.Item("CompanyDocuments") = "STPI REG NO - " + txtStpiRegNo.Text
objDS.Tables(1).Rows.InsertAt(objRow, objDS.Tables(1).Rows.Count + 1)
dgCompanyFiles.DataSource = objDS.Tables(1)
dgCompanyFiles.DataBind()
Session("TempDS") = objDS
End If
Else
lblError.Text = "Please select a file to upload."
End If
Else
lblError.Text = "Please enter STPI REG No."
End If
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub
Even I tried tracking the application and it is not going to the particular button event after browsing the file and clicking on the Upload button for larger file size more then 3.5MB..
Error Message :
Server Error in '/STAT' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
First, you need to edit web.config to enable viewing errors. The method for doing this is displayed in the reported error itself.
Second, you need to allow larger upload file sizes:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="xxx" />
</system.web>
</configuration>

QTP Link object does not support the Exist property

I have a weird problem with QTP 11. The following piece of code worked so far, but suddenly stopped working and throws Object does not support this property or method.: 'objPage.Link' for the line with 'if link exist'
Set objBrowser = Browser("creationtime:=" & Desktop.ChildObjects(oDesc).Count - 1 & "")
Set objPage = objBrowser.Page("title:=.*")
If objPage.Link("class:=menu_link_tab_.*", "html id:=.*DesktopTab").Exist(3) Then
msgbox "ok"
End If
Can anyone tell me what is wrong and/or how to do it right?
EDIT: I solved this but still have no idea what happened. I just cut this part from QTP script and pasted it into Notepad and then copied it from Notepad to QTP. Everything works fine. I did not change anything... Any ideas what the hell happened are welcomed.
ANOTHER EDIT: The problem reappears randomly. With no changes to anything I can just run the test 10 times to have it fail randomly with the 'Object does not support this property or method' message
I have a startBrowser function where I set the objPage and objBrowser :
Function startBrowser(vURL)
Dim oDesc
Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
IE.Visible = True
IE.Navigate vURL
Window("hwnd:=" & IE.HWND).Maximize
Set oDesc = Description.Create
oDesc( "micclass" ).Value = "Browser"
If Desktop.ChildObjects(oDesc).Count > 0 Then
Set objBrowser = Browser("creationtime:=" & Desktop.ChildObjects(oDesc).Count - 1 & "")
End If
Set objPage = objBrowser.Page("title:=.*")
End Function
I have added lots of msgboxes with GetROProperty to verify whether the objects are ok. They seem to be.
Now my function to click the link looks like this :
Function clickMainMenuLink(vIdentifier)
Set objLink = objPage.Link("class:=menu_link_tab_.*", "html id:=.*" & vIdentifier, "index:=0")
If objLink.Exist(timeOut) Then
objLink.Click
Else
reporter.ReportEvent micFail, "Click the " & vIdentifier & " menu link", "Cannot find the " & vIdentifier & " menu link"
ExitTestIteration
End If
End Function
So at the moment my test just opens the browser and clicks a link as I try to debug the thing, but it still fails or passes randomly. The run error indicates line with 'Set objLink'. Any ideas for further debugging? I'm on QTP11 and IE8 if it matters.
From your error does not support this property or method: objPage.Link it would appear that the problem isn't with the .Exist part of line but the .Link part (you can verify this by separating the line into two lines and see which fails
set objLink = objPage.Link("class:=menu_link_tab_.*", "html id:=.*DesktopTab")
If objLink.Exist(3) Then
From your comment it seems that you're creating objPage in a different location from where you're using it, I suggest making sure that the object arrives OK.
Thanks Motti, your reasoning was right. The problem was with the objPage part. Despite the fact that I could read every property of objPage in a function QTP sometimes just did not see this objPage as a Page object. I guess it has something to do with not declaring type explicitly, but that's just a guess. As a dirty workaround I set up the objBrowser and objPage in every function now and it works 100%.

Crystal Reports in VB6 shows up empty for first run

So I'm having a problem with Crystal Reports where the first time I try to run the report, the report shows up empty. The report shows up with the various separators, lines, boxes, etc., but no data to fill in the report. I'm using Visual Basic 6 for the coding. I'm using a lot of inherited code and the code that handles the actual Crystal Reports is a file that is used for other reports and it works fine. So I'm sure the problem is from what I've done where I'm messing something up.
Here is the code I have so far:
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strRptFilePathTemp As String
Dim strRptFileName As String
Dim cSql As String
cSql = "SELECT * FROM TABLE1"
Set rs = DbConn.runStatement(cSql, "rs call", , , , , , , , , , True) 'gets a recordset based on the sql statement above
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
strRptFileName = "ReportName.rpt"
strRptFilePathTemp = App.Path
Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
Set frmcrystalreport.ReportRS = rs
DoEvents
frmcrystalreport.reportfile = strRptFilePathTemp & strRptFileName
frmcrystalreport.ReportTitle = _
frmCrystalReportsMainForm.GetRptTitle1("ReportTitle, ") & vbCrLf
gblStrReportFileNameLastRun = frmcrystalreport.reportfile
Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault
DoEvents
frmcrystalreport.Show vbModal
If Not frmcrystalreport.ReportRS Is Nothing Then
frmcrystalreport.ReportRS.Close
Set frmcrystalreport.ReportRS = Nothing
End If
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
I've tried playing around with the DoEvents function to see if that can help but haven't had much luck with it. Everything works fine after that initial failed attempt at running the report. As long as I don't exit the program, it will print out a report with the valid data once I get passed that blank report. Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
Hmmm, it has been a while since I used VB6 and CR but I sort of remember that your need to discard the saved data before setting the viewers report source
Report.DiscardSavedData
CRViewer1.ReportSource = Report
Just figured out the problem after stumbling upon something in Crystal Reports. I had to turn off the save data with report feature in the report file under the File menu.

How do I display an image from Sql Server with Microsoft Access?

I upsized an Access 2007 database to SQL Server 2008 R2. The images are in SQL Server as image type. Access has link to the table containing the image. When I try to display from within Access, it won't do it. It still has the OLE Object wrapper.
How can I get that image and display it on my forms in Access? I do not have the option, at the moment, to remove the images, put them in a directory and point to them (the best way I know but not an option). I need to read the image / blob file directly from SQL Server and display it on an Access form.
Thank you for any ideas.
I saw this but it did not help:
How to display image from sql server in ms access
http://access.bukrek.net/documentation looks like the file in folder method
Since Access 2010, you can use the PictureData property to store and display images from SQL Server. You will need a bound control for an SQL Server data type varbinary(max), which can be hidden, and an unbound Image control in MS Access. You can now simply say:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Me.MSAccessImageControl.PictureData = Me.SQLServerImage
End Sub
And vice versa. You will need to add some error management to that, but very little else.
Below is a function I have successfully used called BlobToFile. And I also posted the code that I use to test it. The picture gets dumped to a so-called temp file but its not truly temp because it isn't in the temp directory. You can manually delete the image file or else you'll have to write it to your temp folder instead. Then I have an image control where I display the picture.
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim r As DAO.Recordset, sSQL As String, sTempPicture As String
sSQL = "SELECT ID, PictureBlobField FROM MyTable"
Set r = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sSQL, dbSeeChanges)
If Not (r.EOF And r.BOF) Then
sTempPicture = "C:\MyTempPicture.jpg"
Call BlobToFile(sTempPicture, r("PictureBlobField"))
If Dir(sTempPicture) <> "" Then
Me.imagecontrol1.Picture = sTempPicture
End If
End If
r.Close
Set r = Nothing
End Sub
'Function: BlobToFile - Extracts the data in a binary field to a disk file.
'Parameter: strFile - Full path and filename of the destination file.
'Parameter: Field - The field containing the blob.
'Return: The length of the data extracted.
Public Function BlobToFile(strFile As String, ByRef Field As Object) As Long
On Error GoTo BlobToFileError
Dim nFileNum As Integer
Dim abytData() As Byte
BlobToFile = 0
nFileNum = FreeFile
Open strFile For Binary Access Write As nFileNum
abytData = Field
Put #nFileNum, , abytData
BlobToFile = LOF(nFileNum)
BlobToFileExit:
If nFileNum > 0 Then Close nFileNum
Exit Function
BlobToFileError:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description, vbCritical, _
"Error writing file in BlobToFile"
BlobToFile = 0
Resume BlobToFileExit
End Function

How do I load data into the Data Portal of DIAdem with VBScript?

I want to load a ".tdm" file into DIAdem (National Instruments) with a VBScript but can't find how to do this. I have Dialog which opens a browse-window, which returns the path as a string. So I was hoping to have a function which would work something like this:
Call Data.Root.ChannelGroups.Load(myStringWithThePath)
Just noticed I got a tumbleweed-badge on this question. Here is the solution I found last week, so if anybody cares:
Set objDialog = CreateObject("UserAccounts.CommonDialog")
objDialog.Filter = "TDM-Datei(*.tdm)|*.tdm|All Files (*.*)|*.*"
objDialog.FilterIndex = 1
boolResult = objDialog.ShowOpen
If boolResult <> 0 Then
Call Data.Root.ChannelGroups.RemoveAll()
Call DataDelAll
Call DataFileLoad(objDialog.FileName)
End If
