Web Browser Control/Continuous Forms in Access 2000
Hello,
I have a Microsoft Access 2000 web form which needs to display images which are referenced by a fieldname in my table called URL. I've imbedded the Microsoft Web Browser activex control (calling it WebBrowser) and I've set the Form_Current() event as follows:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Me.WebBrowser.Navigate URL
End Sub
When the form's default view is "Single View", the form works perfectly. As I navigate to different records, the Form_Current event is fired and the WebBrowser control updates accordingly.
My Problem: when I set the form to "Continuous Forms", several detail records appear, but only the top one navigates to the URL. If I scroll down, the WebBrowser control is not refreshed.
Is there a way to have all the detail records WebBrowser controls navigate properly on startup and have them refresh when I scroll up/down?
TIA,
Bitwelder

A workaround that works in a continuous form? That would be tough.
However, you can perhaps write a local HTML frame page and load your different URL's in each frame. This could be displayed in the WebBrowser object.
It will be quite hard to synchronize this with a continuous form next to it, though...
On the other hand, if this is a web form, you might be able to use other tricks. I'm not even sure you need a WebBrowser control. Can't you generate HTML tags dynamically on a web form?
(Sorry, no working experience with those...)
