GIF file cannot display properly in the report

Is VFP 7 support printing GIF file in the report? I have no problem to print BMP and JPG file using the Picture/ActiveX control but not the GIF file.

Please advice. Thanks!

Microsoft® Visual FoxPro® supports several graphic file formats widely used throughout the Internet and in many applications.

In general, any areas that supported .bmp (bitmap) format in previous versions of Visual FoxPro now also support the following graphic file formats.

Graphic format File extension
Bitmap .bmp
Device Independent Bitmap .dib
Graphics Interchange Format .gif
Joint Photographic Electronic Group .jpg
Cursor .cur
Animated Cursor .ani
Icon .ico

I dont have any problems with VFP7 and gif files

Is this just at run time or even in the report designer?

If you select the properties of yr picture object in report designer and select file then browse to a gif image does it not display in the object?

Thanks Bob,

In the report designer when I use the picture object and select the File, it will display he JPG or BMP images without problem but not the GIF file that I selected. I know the GIF file is a good image file because I can view by clicking on it in the Windows.

Fyi, the GIF file that I have probem with was exported form MapPoint but that should not be a problem.

Thanks!

I know I'm sounding pedantic here but when you browse for the file in the object properties, If you check the preview checkbox, does it show their?

Hi Bob,

I will give it a try later after work this evening. I am at work now and create a test report that display a different GIF file in the report and it show the image properly regardless of I click on 'Preview' or not.

Could be the GIF from Mappoint has problem...

Thanks a lot and have a nice day!
