infomaker help please

I am attempting to add a computed field in Infomaker with the following expression:

bitmap(“K:\dev_photos\"+string(customer_no)+".bmp")

however I keep getting an error message saying "expecting STRING expression"

I also tried: bitmap(“K:\dev_photos\"+customer_no+".BMP")

what am I missing?

  • Dale,

    The only thing I can think of is that you need to specify a data format as the second parameter of the string() function.  Reading through the help docs it makes it sound like numeric values being converted to string shouldn't need a format to be specified, but InfoMaker has misled me before.

     

    That said, I don't have any experience with this to draw on and tell you for sure.
