>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.

How can I get the report-version of the image to center within the allocated image space?

I had the same problem on a form that I wanted to customize for each user. In the table containing the JPEG file names(they are all in the same folder) I put fields Hval and Wval to store the height and width of the JPEG. Then I calculated the largest size of the image(strech 2, top 192, width 500, height 277, left 0)I could put in the space available. For me the height was limited to 500:

newhval = (500/wval) * 500
thisform.image1.Picture = SYS(5)+ '\RCS5Remote\graphics\' + ALLTRIM(logofile)
THISFORM.image1.HEIGHT = newhval

If you have both width and height limits you may have to calculate which one is the limiting factor then resize and change the .Left and or . Top properties as I did for the label I wanted directly below my image:

thisform.label1.Top = 192 + newhval

With this I was able to handle all except really tall skinny JPEGs. For these I opened a new image in Paint that was wider than my image and pasted the JPEG in and centered the image and saved the file. Anyway, it works.
