Binary Image Look-Up?

Hi.

I have two tables A and B
In table B I have two columns, B_ID and another (my_image) containing Binary Images (ie. gifs).
Table A is linked to table B with by column B_ID, which I want to view as an image and edit as a look-up (display field) as my_image.
However, PhPRunner does not allow this. Why is this and is there a workaround?

PS. as an aside, I notice the image column header is in a different font size to the other headers and not underlined. This is in both the source and look-up tables (ie Tables A and <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=12442&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />. Why is this?

Shankar,
PHPRunner do not support binary fields as link or display fields in the Lookup Wizard. I recommend you to join these two tables and show image from TableB on the list/view pages.
Regarding the column header.

This happens because it's impossible to search or sort binary fields.
