We have a large number of CR 8.5 files that involve a picture of someone's signature and their by-line being placed in them.

We have recently had several cases of employee turnover in our organization and some of those people have had signatures on those letters.

Is there any way to actively change a signature and by-line automatically without having to go into each letter and change them manually?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
 
Hi,
If the information is from a database field or fields and if the database is updated and the reports refreshed, the new sigs and bylines should be there..( as long as the link to the sig stuff is also updated to reflect whoever replaced those folks..)


If the info was a text object, then manual is the only way to go..( afaik)

If you move to crystal XI, then this can be dynamically maintained via a file path to the photo and/or signature file. If not, then the images themselves must be stored in the database, as Turkbear indicated.
