Deleting an image

Hello,
I am trying to delete an image and update the database so that a new image can be uploaded.
In MySqli I go to " Webassist->File Manipulation-> Delete Files and select the delete button, image folder and filename. I then go to "WebAssist->MySQLi -> Data Management -> MySQLi Delete Record" I then enter all the details using the column value ID in the Lookup Column and "image" value in the Lookup value. I then select "Webassist -> MySQLI->Data management->Update Record" fill in the details on the General panel and then in the "Bindings Panel" just select the image. This is the same principal I used in MySQL and it worked fine, but in MySQLi when I try to delete the image I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function getColumnVal() on a non-object in C:\vhosts\smartgrafixuk\cms\edit_about.php on line 21
Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong, or is this a bug?
Thank you

You may need to move the Recordset code above the file delete code manually. It looks like it may just be a code order issue where you are trying to get a value from a recordset that hasn't been created yet.

Thanks Ray that worked. Is there any other way this can be done without having to cut and move the text. I don't mind doing it but it all adds time to a job when you have lots of pages where you need to do this.
I use this idea to save having a seperate images page for the purpose of deleting images to save server space.
Thanks again.

No, this is probably going to be necessary. Unfortunately ordering of code isn't something that is easy to do and Dreamweaver doesn't really tackle the subtleties of it at all in their API. There are just some cases where moving code up or down manually are necessary, and this appears to be one.
