Show/hide Different Picture On Basis Database Field Value Follow
Hi,
I have a database field with the sex of a person. I'd like to check for each label if the person is male or female. If he's male the "Man sysmbol" should be printed and if the person is female the "women symbol" should appear.
I tried the following VB script, but get an error "Objects: Type mismatch"
Set Pic1 =Objects("Image 1")
Set Pic2 =Objects("Image 2")
If (Field("GESCHLECHT") = m) Then
Pic1.PrintVisibility = True
ElseIf (Field("GESCHLECHT") = w) Then
Pic2.PrintVisibility = True
Else
Pic2.PrintVisibility=False
Pic1.PrintVisibility=False
End If

Create a data sourced picture object on the label design and use an event based VB script as the data source. For the OnNewRecord event enter in something like the following:
If Field("TableName.FieldName") = "Male" Then
value = "Man.png"
Else
value = "Woman.png"
End If
I created the datasourced picture object and have inserted the following for the OnNewRecord event:
If Field("GESCHLECHT") = "m" Then
value = "Mars.png"
Else
value = "Venus.png"
End If
"GESCHLECHT" is my databasefield, which can have the values "m" or "w"
When I'm using the print preview, it doesn't give an error, but no picture is printed.
Have you data sourced the picture object? Have you specified the correct path to where the image files reside in the picture properties? If you still have problems I suggest you attach a BarTender document so that we can take a look.
I think that I have everything right, but I attached the file, so you may take a look.
Perhaps you need to make a reference to the field at the beginning of the script and in the OnAutoSelectedEvent script. The purpose of this reference is as follows: Forces reference to a field name in a database. Useful at the beginning of a script when one of the script's execution paths might skip reference to a field name. Helps the BarTender to more accurately analyze your script when trying to determine how often it should be run. For more information, see the BarTender help topic "Forcing Reference to Fields and Share Names."
