The video demonstrates how to correctly display different images and PDFs, focusing on showing/hiding controls based on the attached file type and handling blank cases.
This video provides a detailed explanation of how to display attachments in a Microsoft Access form.
*Problem:*
The previous method of displaying images using the web browser had zoom issues and depended on image resolution.
Some users prefer to display images using Access's Image control for better control over the display.
*Solution:*
The code was modified to display images using the "Image" element and PDF files using the web browser.
A "CheckPic" function was created to check if a file is an image.
An "If" condition was used to control the display of images or PDF files based on the file type.
Another condition was added to display a PDF file only if its extension is "PDF".
The form design was optimized to accommodate image and PDF file display.
*Result:*
Image display issues were resolved, and the user experience was improved.
Displaying attachments is now more flexible and user-friendly.
