You wrote this... I was wondering if you can lend a little insight.

RightWords( MiddleValues( GetAsText(container); 2; 1 ); 1 )

The GetAsText() thing only works with image references, while you have the images stored in the database. I suspect Fenton's AppleScripting ability is what is needed to fix this.

Hi Lee,

You can always copy the picture into the clibpoard (it will convert into a PICT resource), and then write out a PICT file with this litte script:

on error -- must be an embedded image

set theImageName to "Pasted PICT"

end try

set thePICTdata to (copy cell "image" as picture

set thePICTfile to (choose file name default name theImageName)

set theFileReference to open for access thePICTfile with write permission

set eof theFileReference to 512 -- 512 bytes for Data Fork PICTs, usually MacDraw info etc

write thePICTdata starting at 513 to theFileReference as picture

close access theFileReference

tell application "Graphic Converter"

open thePICTfile ...

...

here comes the conversion code

Hi Christian,

Good to see you back, where have you been for so long?

Thanks for the AS, I tried it out just now, but i'm getting some errors. I see you are using OSX, so I thought I had better make sure it is for OS 9.x before going any further.

Thanks again,

Lee
