Resize Images in Microsoft Access: Using FFmpeg & Paint with VBA - Advanced Developer Tutorial

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I'm going to teach you how to resize images directly from your Access database. We'll cover two distinct methods for achieving this. First, we'll explore how to use the Shell function in VBA to run FFmpeg, an open-source multimedia handling utility. Next, for those who prefer an approach that doesn't require 3rd-party software, I'll guide you through a technique using SendKeys and Microsoft Paint. This tutorial is designed for both Advanced users and Developers, offering a practical way to manipulate images within Access.
