includepicture and path to picture
Hi all! Hope you can help me with this question. I've been browsing the web for an answer to my problem, but all the solutions I find are based on that the path to a picture is static. Mine, however is not. The background: In a CRM/ERP program, you can link a picture to a product. This is stored in a table (SQL) as the path to the picture (example: \\server\Picture\Product\Table\Pic...
