Hello,

I am trying to display the digital signature image on a crystal report and I'm having no luck. I am running CR 2011. I have tried changing the location of the graphic to the database field but the original graphic still shows and not the signature. I placed the field on the report and just the converted text shows. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

How are the images stored - as in what type of image format? If you're storing the image in the database, you should be able to just drag the image field onto the report. If you're storing the file location of the image in the data and opening it from the file location, then you insert an image object on the report, right-click, go to Format Picture and set the location of the picture based on the location in the data. This must include the full path to the image!

Thanks so much for getting back to me.

The imaged is stored in the database like as text. Here is an example which is only about half the text:

Crystal has no way of converting text to an image. What is the actual data type of the field where the image is stored? What type of database are you connecting to? What type of connection are you using (native, ODBC, OLEDB, etc.)

It is a SQL database the datatype is text and I am using an OLEDB connection to connect to it.

Crystal can't render text fields as an image. If it were in an image field, Crystal could work with it through an OleDB connection.
