When loading multimedia with the Import tool it is necessary to use the virtual Multimedia field to specify the pathway to the multimedia file to be imported. This example builds on the last one by including multimedia in the import, as well as a table.

The fields loaded are:

Note: The thoroughness of the Import process (compared to a simple batch load) is highlighted when loading multimedia. When importing a .jpg image, for example, much data is automatically generated by Vitalware: MIME type is automatically determined and if any additional resolutions have been defined in the Registry, these are automatically generated.
