OLE object - make it "think" it is another field

[piovesan]

Hi (using Crystal Xl);

I would like to inbed an image into my report (a globe) but I want it to get the "value" of another field....

I have a number field called ParkID and I have the ability to create a hyperlink from that ID to a map (that zooms in to the particular location based on the ParkID). This works when I just use the ParkID attribute, but I wanted to be a little more fancy and have a little globe there that you could click on the go to the map.... so the globe has to have the value of the ParkID......... how can I do this?
Thanks in advance!

After creating the hyperlink, insert the image over the hyperlink, and then format the image to move backward. With the hyperlink now in front, stretch the field boundaries so that they contain the entire image. Then if you wish, you can suppress the linking field, and clicking on the image will take you to the linked document.
