MS access question

[maximus]

I went to MR Ecel but they have not answered my question for over teo weeks (even with three bumps).

Here is the question;

First off, I would like to say that my knowledge is very basic. I have taught myself everything I know about access or excel either by reading or being online asking questions like this. I have yet to go to school, however, I plan on doing so very soon.

I am new here. I also did do a search on my topic but since my question is a bit different and for different purposes I will ask it here.


My goal is to get images to correspond with statistics (or a set of stats). What I am doing is that I am dumping/extracting pro-football player statistics (which are in csv format) from a PC based pro-football simulation called Front Office Footbal (its a football management game)l. I am able to get the statistics I want into access and into a database easily - that is not my problem. The problem I am having is getting the stats (or a player card with his career stats) to correspond with an image of a player (his picture for example). I do know that I have to create a folder next to the datbase and fill the folder with player images (or "pics") in order for the DB to see it, however, thats is all I know. Right now I have the stats in a table format and will be setting up that to view as HTML which will be the player card (think of the back of a baseball card and you'll understand what I want).



A few other things I may need is how to make a nice looking HTML format to view the player cards in.

PS.
I do have VB.Net but have only used it a few times since I really know nothing at all about programming or coding. Again, I am trying to learn as I go and teach myself - well, until I get into school that is.

Eventually, I would like to build a utility that does this automatically for me (something that will read from the extracted data *which are in csv format* and then build a pro-football reference site on my had drive.) It will only be used on my PC for my own enjoyment.

Any hep with this is GREATLY appciated. Thank you.

This can be done. Insert this code into your worksheet. This will take the values of cell A1 and insert a picture with the same name. This also assusmes that your folder with the images is in C:\Logos. You also need to create an picture object in your worksheet. I can send you an example if you would like or if you do not understand.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim WS As Worksheet
Dim FName As String
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("A1"), Target) _
Is Nothing Then
FName = "C:\Logos\" & Target.Text & ".gif"
If Dir(FName) <> "" Then
Set WS = ActiveSheet
WS.OLEObjects("Image1").Object.Picture = _
LoadPicture(FName)
End If
End If
End Sub

Any hep with this is GREATLY appciated. Thank you.Maximus, just a word of note, people will respond faster on that board if you phrase your question in terms of work. If you ask a question that seems like you are doing something for leisure or sports, they are less likely to respond.

Edit: After three bumps you should have bumped a last time with "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!?!?!"
