DB Picture

rbuser

?I am storing pictures in a Firebird database. I want to include them in
my report. They are being saved in a blob file in the DB. The pictures
are JPG files.

When I drop a DB picture component on the report designer and hook it to
the field, it comes out blank.

Any help in how to handle pictures would be appreciated. Thanks in
advance.

Is this in the IDE or in your app? If it's in your app (run time) try adding
ppJPEG to your uses clasue.

I have built an enduser app. When the user drops a dbImage on the report
designer and link it to the blob field that stores the jpg file, it does
not show up. I did add the ppJPEG as you suggested...and that did not
work. Anything else I am missing? Thanks again.

I did right click and select it. And I still get a blank for the JPeg. I
know it exists becasue the graphic tool in Deplhi shows the pictures.
But the dbImage tool in RB is not showing it. Anything else I am leaving
out?
