How do I export an image from Lotus Approach DBF file?

[BT99]

I have an Approach application that stores PicturePlus images in a DBF file. Is there any way to extract these images as I need them to use with a web app.

Thanks in advance.

There isn't a way to export them as a set and no other app will recognise Approach's Picture Plus format and be able to import them.

If the field has OLE editing enabled then you can open each one in it's associated app and save as to the desired format.

You could also experiment with a Sendkeys script to simulate Edit - Picture - Export but I doubt it will work and only .bmp format is available for the image file.

Thanks, paulbent. Appreciate the response. I am using Paint Shop as a way to copy the image from the Approach app and save in Paint Shop, as per your suggestion. It is working fine now. Once agian, thanks.
