Description encief 2008-07-02 17:29:11 UTC 
I am using 2.3.1 (and it is the same in 2.4.1) and I am embedding a picture in 
the database. To save space, I would like to link, rather than embedding. The 
link box is ticked but greyed out on the picture selection dialog box. Is this 
right? Is there an option I should be setting to link rather than embed?

Any help appreciated.

Linking to images, and displaying them in an image control, is currently not
possible. I would have though there already is an issue requesting it, but I
cannot find it. Confirming, grabbing, putting into the 3.x pool.

@all

FYI

Roberto Benitez's book "Database Programming - OpenOffice.org Base & Basic"
shows you how to do this using macro magic and the file picker control.

This issue is closed automatically and wasn't rechecked in a current version of
OOo. The fixed issue should be integrated in OOo since more than half a year. If
you think this issue isn't fixed in a current version (OOo 3.1), please reopen
it and change the field 'Target Milestone' accordingly.
