Need to pull in picture

[bkrampe]

Is there any way to use a filename of a picture to get that picture to appear in a report?

 

[IdoMillet]

Yes. In Crystal XI and above.

My cViewIMAGE utility can load an image from a file name and works for Crystal Reports 8.5 and later.

What version of Crystal are you using bkrampe?

 

[bkrampe]

I am using CR XI. What kind of formula will i need so it will pull it in? I have been trying to get cViewImage to work and i keep getting the error message: *Invalid argument provided*. It seems to be happening when i am trying to connect to the Com Connectivity Database, and i type in the program ID.

You need a formula that returns the full path and filename. Ex:

"c:\directory\subdirectory\abc123.gif"

Where would i have to put that formula at? In cView or is there a way to do it without that program?

 

[dgillz]

You do not need cview if you are using Crystal XI or newer. Put it where you want the picture to appear.

How would you code it if you had spaces in file path or name?

 

[dgillz]

Put the spaces in the formula!

Please show the exact formula you have tried, and an explanation of why it fails. Post sample data and sample file names and paths.
