Linking a picture to an item or card record

Inventory > Creating items > Adding additional details and custom information (optional) > Linking a picture to an item or card record

You may wish to link a picture -- a bitmap file -- to an item or card record. If you link a picture to an item or card, you can display the picture of an item in the Item Details tab of the Item Information window, and you can display the picture in the Card Details tab of the Card Information window.

The pictures aren't stored in your company file. They're stored in the Graphics folder in the directory where your company file is located. If the picture you link isn't already located in the Graphics folder, a copy of the graphics file you select is placed in the Graphics folder. If you move your company file, you must move the Graphics folder to the same location if you want to display the graphics in the Item Information window or Card Details window.

When you only remove the link between the item or card record and the graphics, the graphics file remains in the Graphics folder, which is located in the same directory as your MYOB AccountEdge company file. If you haven't linked the graphics to any other item or card records, you may want to delete the graphics file. For information about deleting files, refer to the documentation for your computer's operating system.
