>>>>>Hey now,
>>>>>
>>>>>In VFP 6.0, a client gave me a report layout request where they want a photo image to print in what is also a data grouping section of the report without disrupting the line height of the text for the grouping detail items.
>>>>>
>>>>>Does anybody know it there's a 3rd party appliation that can pull this rabbit out of it's hat?
>>>>
>>>>Why can't you do this with the current designer? You have an OLE image control you can put on the report for the picture. You can put labels and fields all around this object as well. What did I miss?
>>>
>>>Sure you can, in a header or footer or summary band or grouping header or grouping footer. But try putting the image into the grouping DETAIL band. To size the image you have to use a height of say 2" wide but 4" high, but one line of printed text is about 1/4 inch. So the detail band height is 4" high, so EVERY line in the detail band is 4 inched high.
>>>
>>>See the problem now?

>>Ken,
>>It seems to me that possible, though painful, solution is to concatenate all each group related data to one big multi-line memo field, i.e. you will get one record for each grouping. The painfulness of this way really depends how complicated the data structure is. You may also use multiple memo fields: one for each previous field.

>Way to go Bro!!!!!!!! One hell-of-a-good idea. Now I'll go see if I can make it work (using non-proportional fonts, of course).

If you employ multiple memos, you even don't need in non-proportional font.
