  You might have to build the property command like this
 
  SET VAR vq = (CVAL('QUOTES'))
  SET VAR vmydoc = (.vdoc2)
  SET VAR vProperty = +
   ('PROPERTY ImageComponentID LoadImageFromFile' & .vq + .vmydoc + .vq)
  &vProperty

Hi all,

I have been using the "PROPERTY ImageComponentID LoadImageFromFile .vFileName". 
I have no trouble when I use a dotted variable for the .vfilename, but if I try 
to use an &variable, the code seems to ignore the & and treat it like a dotted 
variable. 

 

When the file spec of the vFileName is constant, I can just use a dotted 
variable or even text surrounded by quotes. However, there are time when I 
would like to let the code choose the file spec. For example, assume I would 
like to use .vdoc1 or .vdoc2 or .vdoc3 to be displayed by the Variable Image 
object, where vdoc1 = 'C:\docs\doc1.jpg', vdoc2 = 'C:\docs\doc2.jpg' and vdoc3 
= 'C:\docs\doc3.jpg'. What I thought should work would be this....

 

SET V vmydoc = '.vdoc2'

PROPERTY ImageComponentID LoadImageFromFile &vmydoc (I would like to display 
doc2.jpg)

 

But that does not seem to work. 

Is there a way to make this work?

Mike
