Existing Databases which use File Images

If the database type supports it, you can convert to database storage of the images by selecting File, Database Management, Convert Image Storage Method. You must be logged in with Supervisor or Master access to use the feature.

You will be presented with a screen like this:

You can optionally choose to delete the image files, once they have been stored in the database, by checking the indicated box, but this is not required.  You might want to keep them as a backup.

If you have a lot of image files to convert, or have a slow computer or connection to the database, then a progress dialog will display to indicate the operation status.

Once the conversion is complete the database will reopen and operate normally.

If there is already an image table in the database then you will not be allowed to proceed with this operation until the table is removed.  This must be done outside the badging program.
