Antonio,

There is no way within the report.

Maybe possible if you are running the report from the RDC, since you have access to all sorts of properties that you can manipulate in your VB code.

Are you using the RDC to run the report?

I use the ActiveX Designer within the VB 6 to create the reports and visualize them in the CRViewer, Honestly i don't know what RDC is. Started with CR a week Ago.

Is there a way with RDC ? how can i acomplish this ?
Is there a way of acessing the report properties while it's beeing build ?

Thanks very much for your reply

I'm working with CR and VB 6 also and have a same kind of problem. But with me the pictures are shown:

I use an image-control (ICROleObject) on the report. The filename and pathname are generated by VB. I fill in the picture with
the formattedpicture-command:

set Rpicture_Picturename.formattedpicture = loadpicture ("c:\directory\picture&quot.
It works. But only with certain file-formats. I'm using gif and BMP for instance.

My problem is finding out the size of the pictures. I'm looking for a way to extract the exact height and length of a picture

Antonio,

The RDC is another name for the Active X designer, which is often confused with the simpler OCX, active X Control.

The RDC has the most extensive object model, and every report object has available properties. You will have to review the object model to see if there is a path property for this OLE object. Check the Developers Help File. Ken Hamady

Hi to everyone,

I have the Path of the image in oracle database, and I have to change the picture in report if the path changes.
I have inserted OLE object on report as “Insert from file”; for the file I have put “c:\Potpis.bmp” (because “c:\ “ is path that every computer has to have) and checked ON link.
Before running the report I simply copy the picture which is written in Database to c:\potpis.bmp
(FileCopy DB_Path, "c:\Potpis.bmp&quot

btw I'm using crystl32.ocx to run reports from app.

Regards
