Default calculated picture display - 06-24-2007 , 03:13 PM






i've got a calc field whose result is a container that displays pix
from a folder using a calc

it has worked fine to date

Today, I added a new record and a picture file - corrrectly named - to
the folder referenced by the calc

No show!

I checked permissions: no problem. By that I mean no difference
between the no show pix and the pix which do show

One check I ran is as follows: i removed a pic file from the pic
folder for a record that does display correctly

A message in the middle of the pic field showed up stating: "the file
cannot be found: 97.jpg"

I stuck the missing file back in the pix folder, and bang, it
displayed again properly as required.

The new record which does not display an associated image does not
display a missing file message. Does that mean the calc isn't
working ?

I have restarted of course. No joy.

This is a complete puzzle.

Any thoughts, much appreciated.

Marmot

And you, ofcourse, have checked that the jpg actualy is a jpg?
Or tried a copy of a previously working jpg and renamed the copy?

Sorry Ursus and anyone else

What a turnip-head I am: I've sorted it out

I hadn't created a new picture record in the pictures table so display
layout therefore had no record to relate to.

What can I say?
