Include an image on a Report

[agallegos]

Hi,

I'm new with crystal. I want to customize a logo image (a .bmp for example) on every report, so that I can change at any time without modify my report. I have Crystal Report 8.

I've been trying to link from a Ole Object, but never works.

My second option it is include this image on a B.D. table (sqlserver 2000 as an image column), where i've also others format options for my reports. I'm trying it now, but I do not know if is there any better ways to do or if could be a problem later on.

Thanks

Hi
you can have your image store in your database an in a table.
name that table image and have a primary key link to you data table to get the right image on your report
then just insert that field from the image table on your report just like you would with any other field.
I think it should work

cheers

yes this works, but, if I design 100 report, I have to join the table with the image every time with every set of table in the natural query of the report. It's a solutin but not so elegant, isn't it?

This could be as simple as the image link works fine.

Thanks.
