What I do is store the file location and name to a field in the table for each record (student) that has a picture. I add a group to the report on recno() and in the group header I add a field and put this code in it:

storepic()

Then I create the storepic function that has the code below:

IF !EMPTY(insured.picture) && this field should have a path and bmp filename
        * i.e. insured.picture may contain \profiler\images\smithjohna.bmp
	IF FILE(insured.picture) && is it valid?
		lcpicture=insured.picture  && yes, print it
        ELSE
                * print the blank.bmp which only says no picture available
                lcpicure='\profiler\images\blank.bmp' && no print 'no picture available'
	ENDIF
ELSE
        * print the blank.bmp which only says no picture available
        lcpicure='\profiler\images\blank.bmp'
ENDIF

Then in the picture/activex control on the report, I choose file and enter the lcpicture variable as the picture to print.

>Hello,
>my project about the webcam and form is okay, I was able to use my webcam to take snapshots of student and was able to save the file in my hdd.
>After taking some pictures I need to print them 1 by 1 with the use of an HP or epson printer (I hope my boss will buy me one of those ID Printers), I've created a report with student ID, Lastname, Firstname and course, my problem is telling the report to get the image in a file while the form is still running co'z I used a public variable to get the basic info's, my question is how can I tell the report form to get the image from the file and be able to preview the report with the image in it?
