ACC2000: Two Device Independent Bitmaps in Paste Special Dialog Box
This article was previously published under Q209072
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
This article applies to a Microsoft Access database (.mdb) and to a Microsoft Access project (.adp).
When you click
Paste Special on the
Edit menu after copying a picture to the Clipboard, the
Paste Special dialog box displays the following two choices for Device Independent Bitmap (DIB)
Picture (Device Independent Bitmap)
Device Independent Bitmap
These two choices are actually the same.
When you copy a Picture object to the Clipboard, Microsoft Access places
Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) on the Clipboard, and then OLE code
also places a Picture object on the Clipboard. Note that using the Paste
Special command in other applications, such as Microsoft Excel or Microsoft
Word for Windows, may give similar results or additional combinations of
the object.
Either of the two choices results in the same action. No extra memory is
used to store extra objects; all the items in the list point to the same
object.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
Steps to Reproduce Problem
- Open a new form in Design view.
- On the Insert menu, click Object.
- Click Create From File.
- Click Browse, select any .bmp file from the Windows folder, and then click OK.
- Click OK to close the Insert Object dialog box.
- Point to Bitmap Image Object on the Edit menu, and then click Convert. Select Picture (Device Independent Bitmap) and click OK.
- On the Edit menu, click Copy.
- On the Edit menu, click Paste Special. Note the first two choices in the As box.
For more information about inserting objects on a form, click
Microsoft Access Help on the
Help menu, type
add a picture to a form in the Office Assistant or
the Answer Wizard, and then click
Search to view the topics
returned.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Access 2000 Standard Edition
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
