Image Uniface and Doc Word

[Bignon]

Hello,

I've got a field "Signature" in a table ( in my database). This field is VarBinary. It's an JPG image stored with fileload/raw.
This part is ok.
Now i want to put this field, or image, or signature at the bottom of my Word document.

An idea ? Help !

Thanks a lot

Hi Jerome,

just a "manufactural" way:

1.) create a flat JPG file with a temporary name.
2.) like you do with the menu, perform Insert->Image->from File->Filename.
3.) If you insert NOT as a hyperlink, you should be able to delete the JPG file now.

Success, Uli

Uli,

I am trying to do a similar thing now with Word COM signatures in Uniface. Unfortunately, I don't quite understand the solution you posted. Currently, I perform this process with a macro which I execute at the right time but I would much prefer a process where I don't have to do a weird find and replace macro to get it to work. Any insight you might have would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry,

just the manual way:

we have a abc.gif file.

Open WInWord and your document,

Position your cursor where you want to add the image.
Select: Insert => Image => from file => (path to abc.gif) (include file)

Now we change the contents of the abc.gif file

Position your cursor where you want to add the next image.
Select: Insert => Image => from file => (path to abc.gif) (include file)

At the end, you should see 2 different images in your WInWordfile.

After the positioning, we use the identical commands (so we con do this with a macro).
From Uniface, each occurence can be handled like:

Position in the document (if necessary)
Create the abc.gif file using "filedump"
Invoke the WinWord macro to include the abc.gif image to the document.

Success, Uli
