I use Crystal Version 10 to create reports for my application developed in VB under Visual studio 6.0
I have amended a report to carry a logo contained in an OLE Object Bitmap which is always linked to the same file (ReportLogo.bmp) in the same folder. I have ticked the Link option when setting up the OLE Object.
Whilst I am in Crystal Reports if I have change the bitmap contained in ReportLogo.bmp and refresh my report the logo changes to reflect the new bitmap.
However, if I run the report from my VB application and change the bitmap the logo does not update. The only way I can get the logo to update is to open the report again in Crystal and resave it - hardly ideal!
I know there is a way of displaying bitmaps from BLOB fields, however, I really like the simplicity of the OLE Object approach. I have seen some comments to effect that this is a Crystal 10 problem and is fixed in XI ? Can anyone suggest a solution in Crystal 10 as this is very frustrating.
