Hi,
A while ago I received a reply to a post about Images in a DB, where Doug
Steele pointed me towards this site for to see a sample imaging database.
http://accdevel.tripod.com
This post is for those who are familier with the sample mdb.
I have decided to use the feature which stores the path and Image name in a
field in the database but I wonder if its possible to modify the code. Having
played around with mail merge and with lots of help from the Word Merge and
Fax discussion group Ive realised that, to merge pictures correctly, the path
must either be stored in the mdb field with double \\ symbols or only the
Image file name must be stored.
For example, the sample database inserts typically U:\My Documents\My
Pictures\MVC00f-1.MPG in the IMagePathAndFile field. Is it possible to modify
the code so that either U:\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\MVC00f-1.MPG or just
MVC00f-1.MPG is stored? Also, would it still be possible to produce a report
using either of these types of field content, if the path was always the
same? I wouldn't want to modify the code so that a mail merge would work but
a report would not.
I realise I havent posted any code but thats because I cant see which code
actually stores the path and file name.
Thanks for any help, JohnB
