Hi

We have designed a crystal report containing a bitmap. One bitmap is selected in report at design time, which is updated in our custom interface before generating the report. On generating the report, the following dialog box is displayed.
(Sorry Picture can not be posted.)

The dialog has:

Title : Updating ActiveX Objects...
Message : Updating Links...
Progress Bar: Show 0% all the time.
Button : Stop (Available all the time)

The dialog box is displayed for a considerably long duration and appears non-functional. The progress bar continuously displays 0% status. On clicking Stop the report is displayed without the bitmap.

This occurs only on systems with fresh installations of Windows 2000 and Windows XP OS. The same report works well on systems with Windows 98 and Windows ME installations.

We would appreciate, if any one can provide a solution or can explain this behavior.

Did you insert the bitmap using Insert Picture method or something else since you are saying it is dynamic at design time in your custom interface. What kinda interface is that?????

Yes we inserted the bitmap using Insert Picture only.

By dynamic we meant that the image name remain same but the image actually changes based on the user selection in our custom interface which we have desiged for customizing the report before generation.

The interface is a plain vfp form only.

It's a kind of workaround we are using. We have a bitmap in report named image1.bmp and we overwrite this image everytime with whatever user selects.

Please read the above question again to see that this works in some OS but not in others.

Thanks

It isn't a directory pathname issue, is it? The structure is the same in all cases?

The file is same in all the cases and it exists and available always.

Please focus on the core issue. Go thru again the basic query.
