Loading Image into Form - Problems

[aligatrjoe]

I have a Form with an Image Control. The Data tab of the Image Control is referencing a File (and path). The Events tab is referencing a Macro and I have tried both Mouse button press and Key Press. I have two problems.
1. I open the Form and get the expected record. The Event option doesn't seem to work. But if I run the Macro via Tools-Macro-Run and select the macro, I get the expected Image in the Image Control. However, I can't move forward to the next record. It appears as though the first record can't be saved with the Image there. In fact the Graphics field of the Image Control now contains the Image's File Name. I have to delete same. I just want to View the Image. I do not want to save the Image with the Record.
2. I can't seem to get the Macro to respond to an Event. I have to manually run the Macro.

As a test, I opened the Form and advanced several Records and then manually ran the Macro. I again got the expected Image, but again, the Graphics field contained the File and Path Name.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is the macro stored in a document (Form/Database)? Are macros enabled on the document?

if so, make sure macros are enabled. close the document and reopen it.

I have tried to Enable Macros. I went to Tools-Options-OpenOffice.org-Security. I set the the Allow Macros to the lowest level. Is this what you meant by Enabling Macros? If so, I still have a problem. I still have to Manually run the Macro.

Since OOo 3.1(?) you don't need a macro. Just bind the picture control to a text field with relative path names.
