Resizing container fields on the fly?

[Jim Sterling]

Help!

How can you (if you can) make a container field resize on it's own as needed? I'd like to add multiple photo images to a database, and the sizes are all different. I'd like to make the container a small size to start with, and have it resize according to the image being placed in it. That way if some records do NOT have an image, there is not all the wasted space of a balnk field.

Ideas?

Well, there is no way to automatically resize fields of any sort. What could be done is create different layouts with different sized fields on them, and switch between then to simulate the effect. I don't know what calcualtion will work out when the field is too small though...

Of course, you could make the container field really big, then format it to crop the image (not enlarge or reduce) that'll make a "one size fits all" layout, but I guess that's not what you want.

Thanks...

I guess I'll just have to 'wing it'. I'll try a few things out and I'll make it work.

Thanks again
