hi,
Thanks I got it to work. Just the way you describe here.

I'm using just one bmp per report.

>Add a character field to your table or cursor that the report runs from. In that field, store the full pathname of the BMP for each detail record.

>Notice that I said "FILE" and not "FIELD" which is a common mistake. Also, be sure to select the "Scale Picture / Retain Shape" option so the BMP is adjusted to fit within the area you define.
