[Solved] Need to add small picture with each record

Post by mikeha_99 »

Greetings,
This is my very first post in the forum. I have tried the search option, and while I see some similar threads, I feel I need to start at the beginning.

I am building my first BASE database (for experimentation). I have created the table with the following fields:
ID (primary key)
Project Number
Project Name
Project Coordinator
Customer Name
Image

When I select the table, right-click and select "Form Wizard", I see all fields except the Image field. So if I make a form, I don't get the image field.

Since I'm new to BASE, and have little database experience (limited to a couple made with FileMaker 6), I think I just need a couple pointers to get past this first hurdle.

Thank you for any and all help.
Mike H

Open you Form in edit mode, (Right click Edit).
On Form Control Toolbar select, More Controls, new toolbar came up select Image control, Draw rectangle in Form, double click on inserted control select data tab, Data field.... your image field in table.
Switch off design mode, check that file selection window came up, when clicks on image control.
