Hey Razzak,
I really love that "Note/BLOB Field Viewer/Editor" and have used it in several programs I am developing. There is one option that is not very useful - the "crop" tool for images. It forces you to put in values as opposed to lassoing a portion of a graphic file. Is this a canned tool, or can this be modified to allow for cropping as in other graphic packages.
Why I ask this is that with the availability of graphic images so easy in RB71, I am tending to use them more liberally in my applications, and need the availability to crop areas out of photos for consistancy, like personnel photos. I'll have to check to see if I put this in as an enhancement request in RDCC a while back, if not, is this a possibility?
Otherwise, it is great for editing RTF files which I am preferring over note fields because of the formatting options. This was one of the truly great features introduced in RB71.

Dennis,
Note/BLOB Field Viewer/Editor is specific to R:BASE
"DB Controls" with data type NOTE, VARCHAR & VARBIT
when used as DB Memo, DB Rich Edit and DB Image. It
knows exactly how to read & then write the data back
and save in a column.
Now if you need to edit outside data, such as image,
or RTF file from within a form using the same Note/BLOB
Field Viewer/Editor, you will need to create an EEP to
call R:BASE BLOB Editor (RBBE) to update the specific
file as follows:
Example 01 (To update an image, such as MyPhoto.GIF):
RBBEDIT MyPhoto.GIF
RETURN
Example 02 (To update RTF file, such as MyFile.RTF):
RBBEDIT MyFile.RTF
RETURN
Hope that helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
