The nearest thing to radio buttons with an image

[Robert Collins]

I currently have a database running in my shop that handles all sales invoices . I have been fiddling around with a "sales calculator' this allows allows sales staff to pick a product and a service and see how much profit we could make.

I have 3 tables involved .

Sales Calc - (this is what the sales staff see)

Product File

Service file

via relationships it shows a list of services (only one need be selected) and a list of products . At the bottom , once the user has selected a product and service , the potential profit is shown. I am currently using radio buttons for this and it works fine.

Now that my Product file has an image for each record, I would like to have the image next to a radio button . This does not seem possible as FM cannot display a image with a radio button.

I have been messing around with a portal that shows the images from the product file but I can't seem to find a way of getting my calc to see which of the images the user has selected.

Any ideas welcome!

Thanks

It can be done but I am not 100% sure what you are getting at.

Perhaps this can help you.

Thanks for the reply. I've taken a look at that but it doesn't really apply.

I don't think I have explained myself very well.

I basically want a value list with a radio button but instead of a text field next to it , I need an image.

Alternatively , I require a field that displays a text field from the currently selected field in a portal row

Ok, think i've sorted it out.

I have set the image field in the portal as a button which tells the calc which product is selected
