Restructure dbf file
I've just started looking at the DBF plug-in. I would like to convert the quiz example to include a Picture Field. Is there a way to restructure the database?


Brian Robinson:
P.S. From a fellow Canadian ... Welcome to the forum, eh !
The sample only has 4 Questions ... did you mean restructure this dbf ? ... or were you asking ot have both the Editor/Reader pubs be modified to ask/show Picture field contents ... i.e. create a new dbf file with the additional field.Is there a way to restructure the database?

re: Restructuring DBF
I want to add a picture field to the database structure and possibly delete one field.

Then you can modify the sample pub accordingly ... but you might first want to read up on the Help file section called Picture Field Considerations ... as the plugin manages Picture fields slightly differently than the other fields.

Just create a new database ... check out dbfCreate command in the Help file ... if you don't know the characteristics of the other fields, you can obtain that information using dbfGetFieldDefs.I want to add a picture field to the database structure and possibly delete one field.
