I now insert all my part bitmap files into RBASE. This is not a problem and I can continue to do this.
I would like to learn how to keep the files in a folder on the drive and have the files come up in the reports (or forms) as needed. This way as we update the bitmap files, I do not have to reinsert the new file. Since the path is always the same, in my report I created a variable vImagePath = 'S:\PART IMAGES\' as a text. I then created the variable vPartnumPath = (Partnum) that is also a text. This is the Part number. I know I need to connect the two by concatenating them together but also the BMP variable vPartImage needs to be a VARBIT. My question is how to concatenate the variable on the report to bring up the BMP file as a VARBIT? I have tried different ways but I get an error stating my vPartImage variable is not the same variable type. How do I change it? Jim
