Exportizer shows data in a powerful database grid, which allows viewing and editing data in the most convenient way.
Single Record View
The data in the grid can be presented in two views: multiple records view, where you see field (column) names in the top row and data records in other rows, and single record view (often called as vertical grid), where you see the selected record in two columns: field (column) names to the left and field (column) values to the right. To toggle between these modes, use the corresponding button 
of the main window or the button 
in the top-left corner of the grid.

Graphic Data in Database Grid
Graphic data are stored in binary large object (BLOB) fields. But BLOB fields can contain not only graphic data, but different types of data. Paradox graphic fields are usually interpreted as fields for bitmap images. For other types of BLOB fields, Exportizer in some cases can automatically detect the actual type of data in those fields and show this data properly. Note, that it can automatically detect only several graphic formats (bitmap, metafile, icon, JPEG, PNG) and some other formats (for example, RTF) and only if the data contains all needed information (e.g. headers) for this.
When the data type is successfully detected, the Exportizer data grids show the corresponding images directly in data cells (if the corresponding option was set in Options | Environment | View).
