I've been scouring the internet for a solution, and I've found one, but it confounds me a little. I have Visual Studio 2005 integrated with Crystal Reports. I work for a school board, and I'm building a report card for SummerSchool Students. One feature I'm adding is a signature file, so that the person responsible does't have to sign the reports.
The signature is simply a bmp file stored on our network. With Crystal Report I want to pass a parameter, specifying the path to pick up the file. My problem is that when I insert a picture, prompts me to select the picture and directory, which is not what I want. I want it to the path/.bmp which I'm passing.
I go in the internet and I supposedly find a solution. Here's the solution
//****
1)Save a default "Not Available" image in your images folder (you
can download one from google small images).
2)open crystal reports
3)Go to the Insert menu.
4)Click on Picture.
5)A window will open for you to choose a picture, choose the
default one from step 1.
6)click ok and place it on the report.
7)Right click the image & click Format Graphic.
8)In the form that will open, click on the "Picture" tab.
9)Click on the formula button next to "Graphic Location".
10)In the formula editor that will open, just select the path
field from your table and save the formula.
//********
If you see point 8, I'm supposed to have "Graphic Location", but I don't see it on my Picture Tab.
The only button I see is the Reset button. Am I missing something?
See the screen capture I've included.
Thanks in adavance
