>I have this problem using our app with general fields and Crystal Reports (but i think the problem is not Crystal Reports) When i print an image imported in a general field (BMP format), in the report i can't see the image, but i have a simple icon with the name of the file i imported in the general fields.... With previous pversions of Windows we have no problems.... This problem only with Windows 11 verified on different pc (not only one)...

Hi Michele

Do not use GENERAL. They depend on to many assumptions. For example, they store the OLE handler to the GENERAL field. If opened later and this handler is not available, it fails. Also a waste of file space. Store links to the files instead. (And, duplicate the pics to something near the database, while obfuscating filename)

I come to this conclusion in 2000 when one customer had the the wrong picture OLE installed. IrFan-View?
