Hi All,
I am using CR XI and have developed a report to access a table which holds paths to images.
I have added an OLE object to the report (a default graphic)and in the Format Graphic, Picture tab have used the 'Graphic location' formula to point to another graphic at a specific location when certain criteria are met. When the criteria are not met the default graphic is displayed.
This works fine on CR running on my PC. I can scroll through the pages (records) and when the criteria is met the graphic changes...great!
The problem is that when I try to run this either using infoview on the CR server, or through a .net application the graphic does not change when required, just the original default graphic is displayed.....can anyone help?

Very best regards to all

Roger
 
Where are the images?
If they are on a local drive, they need to be copied to a local drive on the server running the report.

If they are on a network share, they need to be a UNC path rather than a mapped drive. Services can't see any mapped drives as they are local to each user. Use a formula to find the images on "\\server\share\folder\..."

You can also retrieve the images from a web server with "
