Hello everybody,

Anybody know how to handle general field in Crystal Report? I am in a
situation where I need to create a report with picture in it. Yes, i
know i can use Picture/Ole Object from VFP's native report writer. But
for some reason (which i won't mention here, otherwise this post will be
too long) i have to use Crystal Report. I tried to insert
(drag-and-drop) the general field in the CR Designer, but cr treated it
as string (with zero length !?).

Because I have try this way with no luck, i had an idea; What if I save
the picture that i need to display in file something.bmp. I could
generate a random-unique filename and put the file name in the field. I
was hoping that in the crystal report, i can assign a picture with the
file name in the field.
Problem: I don't know how to assign a picture with the path in the field.

Can anybody help me? I need to know how to use general field in cr (if
possible) or how to assign a picture (in cr) where the picture file name
is stated on the data field.

TIA
Willianto
p.s I use VFP7 and CR 8
