Inserting related images in RRW 8.1 xbase

Post by Charles_Douglass_(Guest) » Thu Jun 21, 2001 8:56 am

Is there a way to insert images (TIF for example) into a report based on some link/relation/calculation, such as a field name in Visual FoxPro equals image name or image index? I would like to have the images change from page to page (like the data) based on resetting the page after a "group field." In other words, I would like to use RRW to view my regular database records (invoice data) and also view the associated images (scanned images of the invoice). I have no problem inserting a single "fixed" image into a report, but I need the image to change based on the record index.

One way that you could get there would be to store the image path/file in a character database field.__Then in the report you could add text fields containing HTML tags (using a image reference for the database field) and then export the report to a Text file with extension HTML.____So when you open the report output in a browser, you would see the individual images.______Kathleen__R&R Support
