Random Picture Displaying

Post by S_Wright » Mon Jul 05, 2004 10:48 am

We have a need that I do not believe currently exists in the product. I know that images can be added to reports but, as I understand R&R, they must be static (like a logo at the top). We have a need that when, let^s say, a stock item is sold that it^s associated picture file should print also. Because any item could be chosen by the user at time of sale the item may or may not have an associated image so it must be random. Can this be done, and if so in what version and how?

Version 10+ allows you to add an image to a report based on reading a field (database or calculated) that contains the path/name of the image to print for that record.____So if you had a database of parts, you could have a field so that record A contains c:images ecordA.bmp and record B contains c:images ecordB.bmp____So if the user queries for record A, the A image appears. If B the B image.____Kathleen__R&R Support
