Image for Subreport caption...

[fdgsogc]

Similarly to the way I can add a hyperlink to an image, I'd like to use an image in place of a subreport caption. That is, I'd like to be able to click on an image and launch a subreport. Is this possible with CR9?

What's the source of the image?

If you're just using insert->Picture, then you can define a website, a file or anotehr report object as the link.

Right click the graphic after inserting and select Format Graphic->Hyperlink tab.

Yes, I have used the Hyperlink tab when redirecting to other websites or my ColdFusion pages. It works well.

However, I would like to redirect the user to a second Crystal Report. I think the "report object" option is a possibility but I need to pass parameters to the other Crystal Report. Normally I use subreports to do that.

My scenario is as follows:
1. First report is a contact list.
2. Second report shows child records listing that contact's assets.
3. I would like to have a button in the detail section that when clicked will go to the second Crystal Report and list only the assets of the contact.

Thoughts?

P.S. I am inserting the image into the main report via Insert>Picture as you suggest.

I'm also using ReCrystallize Pro to convert my Crystal Reports into ASP pages that are using the Crystal web viewers. I guess one option would be to pass parameters to those ASP pages via a normal hyperlink tab on an image.

I wasn't suggesting that you use that means to insert the image, I was asking how (whether it was from a database, etc.), but thanks for clarifying.

The rub is in passing parameters, you were in great shape until you decided to include that...

You might place a subreport over the image and in the Format Subreport-Subreport->Subreport Name use Click here to open.

Give a similar illusion except that they need to click on the Click Here to OPen text, not anywhere on the graphic.

Sorry, all I could come up with right now without using external code...
