David, With Crystal XI you can define a File location for an image. Simply insert any image into the report. Once it is in there you can right-click and choose Format Graphic. The last tab is Hyperlink and on that tab you can select the radio button for A File. The File Name: box give the option to define a formula (X+2). You can click on that and then define a formula to pull the file information from the underlying TMS tables (MediaPaths.Path and MediaFiles.FileName). ________________________________ From: The Museum System (TMS) Users [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Aylsworth, David Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 1:12 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: linking large images to Crystal Reports I know this comes up from time to time, but of course I can't find my notes... We should be able to now link larger JPG images to a crystal report even when that image does not reside on the TMS server, right? Is there a simple explanation for how to do that without taking up too much of any of your time? Your help would be GREATLY appreciated!
