Adding outside links to db

[kathyba]

I have a database that I want to link to scanned images from a book. Actually they are marriage records from an old book that I have scanned and indexed by name, date and witnesses. How can I create a link to the images? What might be the best way for the user (on a CD) to search the data, find the record they want and click to view the image (which is currently a JPG). I was thinking of putting them all in Acrobat but I don't think I can add a database to Acrobat. thanks.

The best way I can think of is the store the path to the images on the CD, ie "MyCD/images/23121/abba.jpg" in a field and then pass that to your OpenURL script step to open it in your browser.

I'll try that, thanks.
