image linked to a report

[-DwayneWade]

Hi,

I want to put a image in my report header and I got 20+ reports
have the same header. What is the best way to implement this so that if I
change the image, I don't need to do 20+ times processing? Thanks.

Use a subreport that you can place in the Report Header of your reports.

How do you create a image link to an external file so that whenever I change
the image, it will reflect on the report? Thanks.

You store the path to your image in a field "ImageName" so the value might
be something like:
"H:\Data\Images\MySnout.jpg"
Add an image control to your report. Add a text box "txtImageName" to your
report's section.
Then in the On Format event of the section of the report containing your
image control, add code like:

If Len(Dir(Me.txtImageName))>0 Then
Me.imgControlName.Picture = Me.txtImageName
Me.imgControlName.Visible = True
Else
Me.imgControlName.Visible = False
End If

When I add an image control to the report, it automatically asks me for the
image file and then embedded the file. How can I bound it to a field in a
table? THanks.

Find a very, very small image file to insert.

I don't understand how this can accomplish what I want. I want to link the
image in a report from a table or a path. But I am getting now is the
picture imported to the report. If I have one same image on 20 report
header and if I change the image, then I need to import 20 times in the
report header. Can you please help? Thanks.

What is the code that you used? How about some field and control names from
your report? What were your results?

In fact, I didn't use any code. I simply create an image control in the
report and it asked me for the file to be displayed and get imported to the
report. So next time if I change the image, I need to re-import the image
file again.

Duane,

I got it now. Thanks for your help.
