bBegley,
thanks for the tip.
I solved it by entering a file refrence in the image field of the paradox database e.g c:\yomi.bmp
then when the user presses any button on the navigator, the dbimage.picture.loadfromfile loads the image based on the field[x].asstring refrence. like thus :

procedure TForm1.DBNavigator1Click(Sender: TObject; Button: TNavigateBtn);
begin
label1.caption := table1.fields[7].AsString;
DBImage1.Picture.LoadFromFile(table1.fields[7].AsString);
end;

Thanks for the tip.

yomyom,

Thanks for posting a follow-up, though it's usually best to post these to the thread where you received the help. This helps keep continuity over time, as someone who searches later may not see the new thread.

Also, don't forget that each post has a link you can click to flag it as helpful. This gives the original poster a star and also tells your other community members what you find most helpful in replies. (Note: you need Javascript enabled to mark a post helpful on this site.)

(I've always found the little stars to be nice little ego boosts when I've gotten them and I imagine the same is true for others.)

Cheers!

Yomyom,

Just another couple of points to add to Lance's - every time you start a new discussion you need to click 'Start New Thread' (found near the top of the forum page) with a subject that is meaningful, accurate and as specific as possible.

For example, using your last post, I would have clicked 'Start New Thread', entered a subject title such as 'Images and Database Desktop' and included the body of the question. I would then have clicked 'Start New Thread' again, entered another title such as 'Logging and controlling phone calls' and entered the second question there.

It's always best to separate unrelated questions into different threads so that others may see the gist of your question just by looking at the subject title. Clive
