Import graphic files from the folder

How to import graphic files from the folder into your database?

On the Advanced menu click Import, in the Import Source box select Graphic File from a Folder and click OK.

Step1: Select a folder with your graphic files. Enter image file extension (default is *.*, means all image files). Define file date import rule or leave it blank (all files will be imported).

Step2: Select Import Graphic Files into this External Graphic Field parameter. Select Import the File Name into this Field parameter.

Step3: Select the Import mode. Select Copy Graphic Files to Organizer's Graphic Directory (default folder is - C:\YOUR_ORGANIZER\DATA\GRAPHIC\)

Maybe it's a good idea to test this function with the test database. Create a new database with three data fields in the Designer.

Field Name ->   Field Type ->   Data Control Type

Name -> Character (40 characters) -> Simple

File -> Character (40 characters) -> Simple

Image -> Character (160 characters) -> External Graphic Field
