I always begin with an apology for my ignorance for being self-taught. Using VFP-6.0 I have a plant database in which I was able to store 1 small photo of each plant in a general field (1st mistake). Now I have a garden directory of photos .jpg's. by year. C:/Garden/2004..2012. etc. file names are like 2005-05-weepingWhiteSpruce.jpg. So I know I need to make an instance table. Something like . Plant_idNo, fileLocation, instanceNo. My over all goal is to be able to call up slide shows by plant, by year, and so on. I reduced the photo sizes to small 4x4, medium 7x5.5, and large 10x7.5. Can anyone start me in the correct direction. I need to probably add a date field and possibly a location field within the garden. I am dreading the task of logging in 1,000 plus photos this way with some photos being mixed like a butterfly-weed with the white spruce in background.
The ultimate goal, my mother of 91 yr., is a legend in Nebraska gardening and has 2,000 plus slides pics, and she gives talks on gardening over so many topics. I could see a big media drive with photos indexed by topics. plant zones, water needs, color, height, care and so on. I want her legend to live much further. UNL (Lincoln) Library is going to have a Gladys Jeurink Gardening section as she is willing her reference books to them. She and another gentleman write a weekly article on gardening which I archive at http://www.shopgi.com/gardening.htm Thanks guys your advice has always kept me moving forward.
