Report design for variable images 1

[jimstarr]

I'm designing a report that will display an image (jpeg). The image actually used will be a function of the language the app is being run in. So there are about 15 possible images that could be displayed in the designated spot on the report. What's the best way to handle this? (VFP9)

(In fact there are about 25 such images on the report.)

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi Jim,

In your calling program, create a private variable. Store the name of the image file that you want to use in this variable.

In the report, add a Picture/OLE field. In its properties, set "Control source type" to "Expression or variable name". Set "Control Source" to the name of the above private variable.

Provided the private variable is in scope when you run the report, that should give you what you want.

Mike
