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).

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!
