Images in details of CR 8.5

[flashes24]

I am trying to place a ".jpg" or ".gif" image in the details section of a CR 8.5 report. The problem I am having is I want this picture to change for each detail and use part of one of the fields in the report (ex: part # '54321'. Where the image, with addition of '.jpg' in a formula, would be named '54321.jpg'. Can this be done? If so, how?

You might create a SQL Expression to return the path to the image and use it as a hyperlink field (or perhaps use a CR formula).

Note that an image would also have to use the path, and depending upon how you are running the report, would have to be pathed accordingly.

Have a look at my cViewIMAGE utility. It works inside a subreport to process a different image for each record.

Starting with crystal v11, this functionality is available. Prior to that, you need to do some programming as Bruce has done to get this to work.
