Does the image need to be in a general field in a table?

Can it be an image that you have the path to or which you can create as you have stored it with FILETOSTR()?

I ask as I'm sure that there is a way, with a reportlistener, to centre an image in the Render() event.

Now I haven't used the 90 reporting features but someone who has, such as Colin Nicholls or Lisa Slater Nicholls could tell you how to do this I'm fairly sure. They breathe VFP reporting and are the ones working on the new Sedna reporting features (which look fantastic).

Try them at www.spacefold.com

If you have no luck then I can have a look but I'm a bit busy at the moment to do some experimenting.
Cheers,
Jamie
