Picture in report

[MarvinR]

In order not to hard-code a logo on a report I use:

- a picture control in report, which the field "Picture
from file" is cLogoName

- cLogoName = 'ABC.bmp'


It worked fine when I tested it in interactive mode, but it showed an "Invalid path or file name" error after I made it to a EXE file;

I tried to copy an ABC.bmp to that directory and all worked fine....

Any idea ?

Just had the same problem. I guess that when you build a exe any forms that contains images, the image file is included as part of the exe. Reports on the other hand does not seem to include them so you will get the error "Invalid path or file name" I even try to include the image inside the project before building and still it gave me the same error. So I had to do what you did copy the images over.

Try this. Open up the report file (.FRX) and browse it. Locate the record(s) where ObjType = 17 and open the Picture field. Remove the path if there is one in there.

Here's another method I've seen but I forget where:
UPDATE MyReport.FRX ;
SET PICTURE = ["]+JUSTFNAME( ALLTRIM( EVALUATE( PICTURE )))+["] ;
WHERE ObjType = 17
