But the picture file will have to be imbedded in the table, not just pointed to with a path.
Michael, I think this is your best bet still. You can create a temorary cursor before running the report, append in the contents of the link to each record in the new cursor. If you are trying to print every badge at once, and the picture files are significantly sized, this will take a while...
Create a report with whatever emplyee information, and drop the ActiveX container control on it from the report controls toolbar, and select field for source. And just put the name of the field in your temprary cursor.
USE MyEmployeeFile
CREATE CURSOR TmpBadges (EmpName C(6), EmpPicture G)
SELE MyEmployeeFile
SCAN
SELE tmpBadges
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE EmpName WITH MyEmployeeFile.EmpName
APPEND GENERAL EmpPicture FROM (MyEmployeeFile.PicturePath)
ENDSCAN
REPORT FORM Badges
