Calculated Field for .pcx picture

Post by Mel_Smith_(Guest) » Thu Nov 06, 2003 1:36 pm

Dear Friends,____ Enviro: RRW9 ____ I wish to use a calculated field for a small ^logo^ on the upper__left corner of a report. Currently, I^m using a hard-coded file specification (i.e., C:ESTLOGO.PCX). This works correctly.____ Instead, I wish to specify the file name as a variable created with a calculated field. So, I created a new calculated field called LOGOFILE and defined it as:__ "C:EST" + LOGOPIC (where logopic is a field name in a database file containing the actual file name)____ This definition was acceptable to RRW9.____ When I went in to modify the ^picture^ properties, and replaced the actual name with ^LOGOFILE^, it was rejected stating that it couldn^t find the file: logofile____Question: how do I specify the .pcx file as a variable rather than an * actual* file name ??____TIA,____-Mel Smith__

You need to upgrade to the latest Version 10 release in order to use a graphic file based on a calculated or database field.______Kathleen__R&R Support

Kathleen,____ Thanks for your response. I think I^ll wait a bit before upgrading. In the meantime, I^ll ^overcopy^ various .pcx files ^over-the-top^ of the one that is hard-coded in my .rrw report files.____Thanks again,____-Mel Smith__
