I have an application that holds a path to pictures in a field (c:\pictures\mypic.jpg). This works fine on screen using the image object, but when it comes to reports the file option won't take an expression, it seems to need a literal filename. Nor will it handle a function returning a filename.
My other alternative was to place the data in a cursor with a general field holding the filename (APPEND GENERAL picture FROM (mFile) CLASS image/jpg).
This works fine with bmp files, but not with jpg or gif files. All I get with jpg or gif files is a reference to the file but no picture.
Has anyone got any ideas ?
Thanks
John
