Your tables can contain any supported sound and image data, and the data can be stored, viewed (or played, in the case of sound files), added, or replaced any time you run a table.

.DBF and .DBF 7 tables support most popular image formats (for a complete list, see the Image page in the Navigator). The supported sound format is .WAV.

Importing an image or sound into a binary field

To add an image or sound to a binary field,

  1. Double-click a binary field. The Specify Binary Field Subtype dialog box appears.

  2. Choose the binary type (Image or Sound). If you choose Sound, the built-in Sound Player appears. If you choose Image, the built-in Image Viewer appears.

  3. Right-click on the viewer or player. A file import dialog box opens. Select a file of the appropriate type, then click OK.

  4. Save the row.

If the field already contains a binary image or sound, you can export the image or sound to disk by calling the player or viewer as instructed above, then choosing Export from the right-click menu.
