Picture image wanted in report header Section

[ekimr]

Hi,

I must surely be doing something basic wrong, cos i am sure crystal must have the basic functionality to be able to import a picture file to the header section.

Have been reading FAQ's and other threads about Ole objects (which I have tried for my solution) , but it seems that I have to click on the object at run time to get the full image. (FAQ's talked about detail section problems).

I don't want to store the file in the report or a database, because it gets updated (company logo) more often than my report will.

So all I want my report header to do is load in a file called f:\companylogo\phillips.jpg or .bmp not sure what the extension will be yet.

When i tried to link to it as a OLE object, it sits in the report as a small picture icon, that i need to double click on.

I want the same result of calling a file image to be imported at execution time as if I had inserted a picture to my report directly in design view and stored it.

Thanks for any help

JK
