[gurbo]

Hi ,

I need your suggestions about how to link 400photo of students, + 400 each person related text file from a database to Director ?

Project should be about YearCD (Interactive Memoranda) for graduates from university ,,

- Each student's photo , and related 'memory text' should be called from database , as should be searched by name,surname,StudentID etc..

Well, there could be two ways you can go about this.
First: Use a database like v12. If you need a MS only solution, you can maybe try MS Access with the datagip xtra. Both these databases allow for storing of images within it.

Second: Store your lists in simple text files and your images as external files. This way depending on which Student details you want, you can browse through the list and get all the relevant information along with the corresponding students photo filename. Then just import the image at runtime and show it. This method is definitley slower but cheaper. I'd suggest that you look at using the vList xtra which allows you to save your lists in binary format thus having your saving and retreiving of lists a lot faster.
