Using Variable Pictures from Blob Fields

YoucanusethepicturesstoredinthedatabaseBLOBfields.Thesedatabasefieldsdonotcontain

thereferencetotheimagelocationinsomefilesystem(pathandfilename),butcontaintheimage

itself.ThelabelingsoftwarewillreadthedatafromtheBLOBfield.

Ifthedatafromblobfieldisidentifiedastheimageitwilldisplayastheimageonthelabel,when

youlinksuchdatabasevariablewiththepictureobject.Youcanconnectsuchfieldtoanylabel

object,notonlypictureobject.Butthefieldvaluewillbeasfollows:

[IMAGEext=XXX]ID

where:

XXXstandsfortheimageextensionthatdefinestheimagetype

IDstandsfortheinternalnumberthatidentifieseachimagefromthedatabaseuniquely.

WhenyouusetheBLOBfieldswithMSSQLdatabaseserver,youcanembeddifferentimagetypes

intothefields(BMP,JPEG,GIF,PCX,TIFF,PNG,TGA,PXM,ICO,JP2,J2K).However,when

youusesomeotherdatabasetype,notalltypesmightbeaccessible.Bitmap(BMP)formatisalways

supported.

Handle Missing Images

Thelabelingsoftwareremembersthepathandfilenameofthepicturethatyouplaceonthelabel.

Eachtimeyouopenthelabel,thelabelingsoftwarechecksifthepicturesisaccessibleandthenuses

itonthelabel.Ifthepictureismissing,youwillseeawarningdialogbox.Youcan:

l Ignoretheerrorandtemporarilydesignthelabelwithouttheneededpicture.

l Discardthemissingpictureandpermanentlyremoveitfromthelabel.
