We have a postcard that requires variable data and variable graphics.

There are over 800 jpegs (photographs of houses) that have to be placed as resources for the variable graphics (these images are in a folder on my drive). They are numbered and the corresponding variable data is a text file with addresses. How can I bring in the variable graphics and have it mate with the corresponding variable data if they are not in a database file of some sort.

Please let me know A.S.A.P.

 

Thank you.

How are you intending on matching the images to each address if there's nothing in the data to drive the variable images?

 

If the images are named sequentially 1-800 (i.e. 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc) and the image corresponds to the record (i.e. record 1 returns 1.jpg, record 50 returns 50.jpg, etc) then you could do something like this:

 

return CreateResource("/path to graphics/"+ ToString(CurrentRecordNumber()) + ".jpg");
