I'm using CR version 14 and accessing a MySQL database. A memo field shows a link to a photo like element_16_4e42220543c749116c093cf23ec3cd4b-4-IMG_0320.jpg . Within CR, I can "Insert Picture" and put in the location of \\Server16\data\form_22252\files\element_16_4e42220543c749116c093cf23ec3cd4b-4-IMG_0320.jpg , which will display the photo find. However, I'm having a hard time creating a way to create \\Server16\data\form_22252\files\ and inserting "&" the memo field in question.

I've tried to go to the picture, right click and select "format graphic". Then, go to "A File" to create a formula of "\\Server16\data\form_22252\files\" & "Element_16 so that each row shows a new picture. Unfortunately, it just shows the same picture over and over.

I might be using the "Insert Picture" incorrectly.
 
If you specify the name of a file, then that file (picture) will show every time. if there is a photo field in a file you just place that field on the report.
 
Thanks Charily. You made me think a bit harder and found out that I was in the wrong area. In the Format Editor, I neede to go to the Picture tab, then Graphic Location and set the formula there instead.
