Ron Cates Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Hi All. Wasn't sure where this one should go so sorry if this is the wrong forum. Here is my problem. I have a database with a container field for each record in a table. The field is meant to hold .jpg files for later export and so on. The images are stored within the file and not just as reference. Today I discovered that one of my users had imported a number of .wmf files in error (my bad for not scripting validation on import although that is what I will be doing while I wait for some assistance). So in order to resolve the problem I need to do a find for all the .wmf files. I have a field that uses GetAsText ( ad ) to display the file name of the image in the container field but on those records with a .wmf file it displays a ? instead of the file name. Records with a .jpg in the container display the filename properly in the get as text field so I know the field is performing as it should but it does not seem to be able to evaluate for the filename of a .wmf file. So now I am left with figuring out a way to find for these files. The field is meant to only have .jpg files so I am thinking something along the lines of finding for not is empty and ≠ .jpg but I'm not quite sure of the best way to go about this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Ron Cates Posted July 13, 2010 Author Posted July 13, 2010 I managed to find and clean out the .wmf files. Now I am having trouble with the calculation for validating the container field. Can anyone help?
