Done this in Excel now want to do it in Access

[mikeprice53]

Hi folks,

Im a bit of a newbie when it comes to Access and the growing sizes of my excel sheets / workbooks are forcing me to move over to Access but in this transition whilst i learn the basics again I want to know if this is possible?

I have in Excel a method for lifting off x ammount of images from a website mail order web site and put them onto a worksheet in a nice order with info about the images, what I am after doing in Access is very similar hence hoping to use the same VBA code I used in excel to replicate something similar. In the Forms view I would like my data for each record to be as a normal form view but with the exception of adding a changable picture to the right hand side of the item picture on the web according to the record you are on ( there will be a picture for each one ).

Is this possible and how much more difficult is it going to be to do this if anyone may know please.

thanx

Mike

I think portions of this link would help you.
Specifically the techniques about picture boxes and such on forms.

Yes, shouldn't be any reason you can't use your Excel VBA to continue to do the same functions. I'm guessing you're using the Url API call?
