No one else should up at this hour but me......

Can't do the code now, packing it in.....

Don't recall syntax right now, but something like this ?

var vTemp as String
vTemp =  @Label(PictureElement)
if vTemp = "" then {
     @msgbox("Missing Image Path","","")
}
 

Suggestion for future:
Add a Yes/No box to fill in when Path is added.
On Form Exit/ImageElement Exit, can do check for condition of Yes/No and path exists for the image element.

Good night, and good luck!

Now that's great news and what I was hoping for.  Bottom line is that you CAN do an image search ... just that you need to access the extra 'element.'

It already paid off for me.  I have about 200 images in the directory of people who attended this year's reunion.  The only way I thought I could be sure that I inserted the path in each form was to print a listing of all the pictures on file ... and then check the data base one-by-one to be sure I had selected each one.

Well, I just did a search using = as the criteria, so that I could see all my reccords having pictures.  I came to one that didn't have a picture and wondered if there was a flaw in the selection.  And then I realized, I'll bet there is a picture and I just didn't select it.  So, I kept scanning and sure enough I found about 5 instances where the picture was there, but I missed selecting it for my form. 

So, back to my original question ..... now I can simply retrieve a set of records for which I want to print labels.

Now what could be simpler?!!!

Thanks!

It works for me. It will search based on the full filename value stored in the field. If you create a textbox element and bind it to the same underlying field as the Image Element, you will be able to see the underlying value. This may give you a clue as to format your search criteria.

Spencer,

This is very difficult to troubleshoot blind. Why don't you send it into Support, so we can see what you are doing, what's bound to what, etc.

I know it works in general, so we'll need to see the specifics to determine what you need to adjust for your particular case.
