Crystal report with linked/embedded images

[ScottAW]

I am creating a report with data coming from SQLServer. Part of the report is including tif images that support the data in the report. The file name is in the database.

I can see how to create a hyperlink to the file dynamically, but it only creates the link... it won't print the image that is referred to.

Is there anyway of getting Crystal to print this image instead of it being accessible via a clink??

Thanks!!!!!

See faq767-1988. Crystal reports does not display an image, of any type, unless the image itself (not the filename or path) is stored in the database as a blob field.

I believe you can do this with VB and the Crystal Reports RDC (report designer component) but I hav yet to see it work. Then again I am not a strong VB programmer.

Good Luck.
