While wrestling w/ this issue months ago, i found that outputting an image on a report using the FILE method, i could not center it. If i used a general field, i could center it. Some of the users' workstations could not view image reports due to their configuration (not having an OLE Image Editor i believe), so we had to have a user-specific switch so that the user could go with the FILE or GENERAL FIELD method of image reporting. Not an answer to your problem, just an observation on what we encountered..

>>I have a table which includes a character field containing the path to a JPEG file, which is displayed within an image control on a form. With the stretch property set to 1 (isometric) the image displays in the center of the allocated control area. The JPEG associated with each table row may be of a different size, so I expect a variable (but equal) amount of white space above and below the image, depending on its size. So far so good.

>>My problem is that when I output the image within a report (which approximately resembles the form layout), the image (set to scale contents, retain shape) is always positioned at the top-left of the control area, hence all the white space is below the image. How can I get the report-version of the image to center within the allocated image space?
