One way is to put the images in a directory and then create a virtual directory on your web server that points to the physical location.

Then you reports can simply point to the Virtual directory.

You can also create objects in the Universe that point to these grapics.

Hi everybody from Italy..
Scott, what do you mean for creating an object in the Universe,
is it possible to write code different from SQL statements
in the Objs?

Hi Claude (frenchy user like me ?),

I have tried lots of solutions for putting an image in a Webi report.

Copying the file on a virtual directory is one, but you need to have access to the server, which is only the case on "small" business. I personally can't do that, so what I do is :

- open (or tranfer by copy/paste) my picture into mspaint
- mspaint : reselect all / copy
- BO : create a empty cell and paste

Of course, your report becomes bigger, but you can easily control the picture.

NB : I've tried to use other tools like Paint Shop Pro, but it doesn't work. I think the picture needs to have no more than 256 colors.

NB2 : I've also noticed that if you export your report in PDF format, and the picture correctly appears in it, then it will also appears on the webi report.

Amicalement,
Stéphane
