Image
Right-click this empty box:
•Select Image to select a JPG image from your computer if you have one.
•Search Internet for Image to automatically open your web browser at a Google image search for the product code. If you find a picture you would then need to save it to your computer to use it.
•Reset Image to clear the image that already exists
The image can be any common graphic file type and can be located anywhere on your PC. However if you are using a multiuser system is it sensible to use the EQ 'My Pictures' folder because it will be accessible by all users.
The 'My Pictures' folder is created with your EQ data folder. By default this is C:\easyquote\my pictures. See work files under file locations for more detail.
