Hi steve,

The only way out of this seems to use the formattedpicture property of an OLE object in the RDC automation server. However you can only change this propery during a format event of the section containg the OLE object. In order to hook into the format event you'll have to use VFPCOM.DLL.

I've never done this, so I cannot give you any code to provide you support. There are some VB examples in the helpfiles and you can search the knowledgebase at www.crystaldecisions.com to find more info.

Walter,



>Can anyone tell how to link to an image at runtime in Crystal. I'm trying to create a portable application that can update images in a suite of reports at runtime - allowing for customization of logo for each install site without opening and replacing image in each report.

>The portability is the issue. I can put an OLE-linked image in the same directory as the report (which takes care of the image update), but Crystal insists on storing the link as absolute rather than relative (at least I haven't found a workaround) so report/image cannot be moved to another directory - and I don't want to impose a directory structure at the site.
