Hi guys!

I just want to know how to display image files ex. jpg, bmp in Crystal Report 7.

Thanks.

If you are talking about a static image such as a company logo, just drag it onto the report.

If you are talking about a dynamic image, and the image is stored in the database (not the path to the imagem but the image itself), again just drag it onto the report.

If you are talking about something else I need more info.

Don and I have both published FAQ's on this.

Easiest approach is store the image in your DB table in a BLOB or OLE field.

Other approaches include a COM data driver or a custom viewer to convert a file name into an image on the page. My SMTP UFL will email reports and images with CR7, while the COM driver needs CR8.5 (or better) to work.

Depends on what you are trying to do.

dgillz and chelseatech,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry if it appears not clear to you. I'm talking about storing the path to the image on a database and retrieves it in the report.

You cannot do this with crystal reports as a stand alone tool. You will have to add your crystal report to a VB project and prgramatically retrieve the picture in this case.

Or you can use Bruce's cViewImage program. Here's the link:
