I am creating an interactive map of a facility. It requires a lot of "Rollover" images and I was wondering if there is a quicker way to load my images into the program then loading each one individually. For example, is it possible to have DBPro look at a specified folder, read all the image files in that folder, and then load them all into the program?

just curious
Thanks

You will still have to load them individually, but you can loop through the contents of a folder (and its subfolders as well, if you wish), loading all image files you find in there, if that is what you're looking for?

PERFORM CHECKLIST FOR FILES

This command will output the contents of the current working directory to a checklist. The command provides a convenient way to store the contents of a directory without using additional data structures, but does tie up the checklist when in use. Use the CHECKLIST commands in the SYSTEM command set to access the checklist.

True, but that has (at least it did have, haven't used checklists for years) a limit of 255 items.
If you want something more "fit-for-all-purposes", I'd suggest you to look into the find first and find next commands. They make file searching really swift once you get used to them
