Hi Andreas,


I use to store pictures as references to files in the same directory as
the odb document. This way all you need to store in a VARCHAR field is
the file names of the pictures. In a form you can bind a picture control
to the text field and you will not encounter the usual performance
problems.

When you import the text field content into a serial letter, all you
need is a macro to replace the text field with a picture object linked
to the external file (anchor as character, fixed size,...).


Agreed, but can you set it up to make the paragraph as invisible depending on whether or not you have a varchar string ? I imagine so, but that is the question that the original poster was asking. Your macro would need to take care of that piece of trickery in order to mark the paragraph/section where the image is to be inserted as hidden when equal to NULL.
