A2KLoadJpegGifGDIPlus.zip is an update to the function to allow for the Display of Jpeg and Gif files on systems that do not have the Office Graphic Filters installed. TIF and PNG formats are now supported via the Microsoft GDI+ DLL. The GDI+ DLL is freely redistributable and available directly from MS here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=32738

or on this Web site:

GDI+DLL.zip
Please take a moment to read the redist.txt file contained in distribution archive. This file explains how and where to install the DLL.

The GDI+ A2K version can easily be converted to A97 but you will have to manually change all of the ENUMS. Frankly I am getting tired of supporting both A97 and A2K versions mainly due to the lack of ENUM support in A97. :-(

A97LoadJpegGif.zip is a database containing a function to allow for the Display of Jpeg and Gif files on systems that do not have the Office Graphic Filters installed.  Here is the A2K version: A2KLoadJpegGif.zip

NEW - April 05 2003 Ver 5.0 Developed to allow Access RunTime installations to display Jpeg files in a standard Image Control. Provides functionality to load JPG,GIF,BMP,EMF,WMF,CUR and ICO  files on systems without the Office Graphics Filters loaded.
Originally developed for Systems with Access Runtime only.  Supports transparency in Transparent Gifs.  Allows you to resize Images on Forms/Reports at runtime  with no loss of Image quality.

Windows 98 has a bug in the GDI's handling of Metafiles. That along with the resource issues with Printing Access reports with a large number of Images means you should not use these functions with large reports on Windows 98. The bug is fixed with Win2K or higher. 

'HISTORY

' *************************************************************
' Version 5.0 Notes
' April 12, 2003
' Finally got around to fixing the resizing issues when control's
' SizeMode prop is set to Zoom or Stretch. With A97 any format other
' than Bitmap would resize correctly. With A2K and higher the issue was
' reversed and only Bitmap images would resize properly.
' Solution was to use Use StretchBlt with SetStretchBltMode instead
' of BitBlt in the Enhanced Metafile records.
' This current version now works in all versions of Access for
' both Forms and Reports.
' Found a silly bug/feature. Access use the Office Graphics filters
' for Bitmap and Metafile images is dependant on the letter case
' of the file extensions. I'm serious!
' Will document this and other Image handling anomalies on my Web site with an Image Handling FAQ.

' Version 3.2
' Added code to simulate Magnification for the Image control.
' Autosizing of Image control to match dimensions of loaded picture.
' ScrollBars return to TOP and LEFT when CLIP is selected.

' Version 3.
' Added code to simulate ScrollBars for the Image Control.
'
' Version 2.
' Added code to have cursor change to HourGlass during the
' process to load/display the Jpeg or Gif file. Certain large
' JPEG's can take several seconds to load depending on
' the performance of the system.

' Version 1
' No stones yet!<bg>

' In case someone ever needs the ability to load disk based Images to a DIB for insertion into the PictureData prop, here is a modified function. Just grad the DIBSection class from my LoadSaveJpeg project for this code to work:

'Function fStdPicToImageDataDIB(hStdPic As Object, ctl As Access.Image, _
'Optional FileNamePath As String = "") As Boolean
'
'' Changed all references to StdPicture to Object
'' I'm going with late binding as this is a sample database
'' and many users may not be comfortable setting references.
'
'' If you need the faster performance you can use Early binding and declare
'' hStdPic as StdPicture. Requires a Reference to Standard OLE Types.
'' This file, OLEPRO32.DLL
'' is usually found in your System folder. Goto the Menu Tools->References
'' and set a reference to the above file.
