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?

  • One other thought, is remember that the bitmap is a "computed" field.

    The only thing I can think of is replacing the mapped drive with the full path. FWIW I have computed fields in IM and they're formatted essentially like the latter of your two. bitmap("\\folder\otherfolder\"+customer_no+".bmp") so I don't think the string function should be necessary.
