Hi,
just started using ASPR yesterday - great tool for likes of me - however I cannot get uploader info to appear for database image - have got edit as set as datbase image - database has column as a blob - yet no change/select icons.
what may I be doing wrong
thanks

I may be wrong, but I think you need to create and save a record before you can upload an image.
Aplogies if this is not right.

I just started using it myself but find it fairly straight-forward and easy to use. I am having the same problem with images not appearing. My data was entered into an Access Database and then the database was uploaded to my web space. I uploaded the generated ASP files and was able to view all my data correctly except for the embedded images in the database.

Hi,
here is the simple step-by-step tutorial that explains how to make database images work:

  1. Create a column in MS Access table named Pic of type OLE Object
  2. Run ASPRunner against this table and proceed to Formatting tab.
  3. Set View as for this field to Database image. This will make image appear on the list page.
  4. Set Edit as for this field to Database image. This will enable image upload feature on the edit page.
    If this doesn't help zip and send me the whole content of ASPRunner's output directory wirh subdirectories. Send it to support AT xlinesoft.com. I will run it on my test box to find what's wrong.

Sergy,
thanks for your info - I have resolved my problems now - it seems that if you changes the structure of a project (add or remove list and edit fields) - you can lose formatting, or formatting moves to another field in the record - not very consisistent.
But I like ASPR very much - I am using with MYSQL as have had HTTP500 errors with Access (too may conenctions).
keep up the good work - I will purchase shortly - i would appreciate it if you could look into the issues with changing fields etc. in projects.
