Currently I am using Word for my help system for my app. I
have pictures of my forms with text around them explaining my

I would like to put this into Rbase but am not sure sure what
is the best way. I know I can store text in Varchar and BMP
in Varbit but I want to store text and pictures of the form
in 1 column and be able to edit the text when necessary.
Is there an easy to do this or a better way?
Marc,
I guess we can introduce a new data type in R:BASE to handle
both of your VARBIT and VARCHAR data types as one. <g>
Having said that, why not create a real help (.chm) fie with
the added feature of PDF manual to accomplish your goal?
Using the actual help (.chm) or PDF file, you can call the
exact topic or a particular pdf page from anywhere in your
form or application by simply passing the appropriate .chm
parameters or using the PDF Control Property options.
This approach will help you easily maintain a single file
with so many output options, including the .chm and .pdf.
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
