Dynamic linking to Word Document in Crystal XI

[meryls]

Hi!
I have a report that is able to insert an image, and then create a formula to link to a data element, in order to have the picture ( company logo) be completely dynamic. This works great.

I now want to be able to do the same thing with a word document insert. I'd like to link to a word document that can have it's location passed to the report. That document would then display inside the report.

Can Crystal XI support that?

Thanks for your help!

Try inserting the Word document as an OLE object (Insert->OLE object).

Thanks, lbass,
I was using that feature, but I can't get the report to show the document linked by a formula. The OLE object looks at a certain location, but if the location is changeable, I can't link without using a formula. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Meryl
