Hi Patricia,

Sorry about the gray skies. It will change. Our problem with images and
reports is also the distorted image problem, or no images showing up at all
even when we know they are there. We have determined that the distorted
image problem is the result of cropping before putting thumbs in TMS.
Thumbs+ fills the created thumbs out to 192 x 192 ppi, and if the image is
cropped in Thumbs+ the image comes out distorted in a TMS report. The images
that are not showing up at all is another problem. In either case we may
have go back and do some batch fixing.

Thanks for your response.

Scott,

First of all I'm jealous of your sunny day.  We have had nothing but grey
skies here for over a week.

In answer to your question, we had been using the canned report "object
list with images" with some revisions. The thumbnail images are slightly
distorted on the canned report.  The person who revised this report no
longer works with us unfortunately.

I was having trouble sending the report to people using the acrobat
reader..  Some recipients were getting distortions of this report.  I've
been using Microsoft word recently when I export reports.

Hello All,

I just want to report that it is a gorgeous sunny day here in Seattle
today,
so don't believe any of those reports that say the sun never shines.

Anyway, my question. We are working on being able to create reports from
TMS
that have thumbnail images with each record. We are using Crystal Reports
as
our reporting software, and Thumbs+ to create thumbs for TMS. In addition,
we would like to be able to email such reports, but Crystal has a number
of
limitations in terms of  email formats. I'm curious about what others have
experienced with trying to do this.
