adding icons to toolbar in Access 97

[User (Legacy)]

Hi everybody,

I'm having problems adding my selfmade icons to the toolbar in Access97 and

Access XP.

I made an image object with an embedded bmp. Then I tried to add this bmp

with the following command:

nPicture = ChartFX1.Commands.AddPicture(Picture1.Picture)

I get a "Type mismatch". I tried adding a ico, gif, jpeg file, but with the

same result.

If I try the same in VB it works perfectly.

Am I using the wrong object to embed the bmp? Should the bmp be linked

instead of embedded? Is this not possible in Access?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

As far as we know there is no support in Access for OLE Pictures (which is

the type we expect). The picture control in Access seems to be built-in and

is incapable of returning an OLE Picture object.

Therefore customizing the toolbar icons in Access seems to be not possible.
