Check your help file for Blobs and Launch. Seems like what it says and a
well placed Launch command you would have it.
SOME KIND OF Table Row ID coming from a form
vImageID = ImageID
WRITE .v1 TO filename
LAUNCH filename
INSERT INTO tIMAGES (ID, IMAGEDATA) VALUES (.vImageID,
['filename.bmp']) --temp table
UPDATE IMAGES SET IMAGEDATA = T2.IMAGEDATA +
FROM IMAGES T1, tIMAGES T2 +
WHERE T1.ImageID = .vImageID
This is a VERY ROUGH IDEA but it seems like it could work.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - re: editable image in form
Hi,
I want to put an editable image on a form.
In Access I could put an OLE embedded bound image field, based on a
particular image.
On double-click the image opens in e.g. Photodraw/paint, I can edit the
image, make annotations and then save it as the OLE embedded image in
the database, without altering the original image.
How do I do this in R:base ?
Do I use a varbit BLOB ? But the editor doesn't allow annotations......
Thanks again for any help....
