Hello, First I want to say this code is not mine I have found it years ago and been using it since in a Visual Work Instruction database since to get images for each instruction or step in a process. Anyway, I have a button on my form that has the code below:
And it opens a window for me to browse my PC for a image I want to use/upload to the database folder ect. and it has always worked great. The problem is I have always had to resize my images to keep the DB folder size down and once in a while someone will put an image in thats like 8megs and I have to go through and resize it. What I wnat to do is if the image exceeds 1mb then a message box comes up telling the user to resize the image and it automatically opens Microsoft Office Picture Manager and closes the one window. How can I do this? below is the module it uses as well.
Thanks,
SoggyCashew.....
