I am newbie and have not danced in VFP, I am former 2.6 for windows. I
recently just got VFP 6.00000000!!!!! Yeah!?!? I want reply with "long version", not just "go to VFP
and click this, you're done".

So, what or how would you do the *.jpg and VFP? What I am planning to do is to have a form with
data showing and a button for image. Upon
clicking that ONE button, I want to show pictures (which it can and will have more than 1 pictures).
Would you do another form and have something like page-breaks for each picture (shown one at a
time) or what? Is there a wizard for those kinda stuff?

The way I thought of is to have the *.jpg file name after the unique ID.
For example:

(in database)
ID (text, 8 characters)
---
M1212121
M1222222
M3111111
M4121212
M5444444


(in directory, via, P:\Capital\pictures)
A1222222.jpg
B1222222.jpg
M4121212.jpg


now, there are only 3 *.jpg's, no matter what, the SUBSTR is to look for the last 7 characters and
thus would show ID # M1222222 having two
pictures and ID # M4121212 having 1 picture. Are you following me? I
think it would be better NOT to type path in the table when you have the ID to do sufficiency? What
would be the best way to do as far the speed of bring up the pictures, like having a WAIT WINDOW
NOWAIT "Processing image editor...please wait"?

Also, does VFP have image editor within or would need to use MS Photo
Editor? I want to do something that when the picture is shown, it is
read-only and if they want to edit it, there would be "Edit" button and thus opens the read/write to
edit the image.

Please input information regarding image and VFP. I am sure others would be interesting reading
on how to set up for pictures. You may want to include what version you are using if it matters.
