You could use the Find Employee Images form to find your own images of any supported type. A suitable set of images is available for these exercises on the LANSA / Support / Documentation web site (see http://www.lansa.com/support/docs/index.htm). Look under the Visual LANSA group for VFW_WAW Workshop – Extra Files.

The zip file contains a folder \PHOTOS which contains 16 small facial images (80 x 90 pixels).

2.  Select the Images tab for an employee. Use the Find Employee Image form to locate C:\LANSA\PHOTOS folder. Select an image and click OK, which should close the Find Image form.

3.  Click the Save button on the Images command handler.

4.  Save images for a number of employees and check that images can then be retrieved and displayed when an employee is selected in the Instance list.
