Hi Rupert,
My workaround for this was to pull the width and height data of the picture from TMS, put the OLE into a subreport and use functions to compute the X and Width parameters in Object size and position, based on the box's size.
I haven't find a better solution yet.
(Lack of) image handling is one of the main reasons I'm thinking about moving from CR to SSRS for reporting.
Best,
Adam

Subject: Correctly formatting images in Crystal Reports
Dear colleagues
I've inherited a Crystal Report that pulls large images into the report based on path and filename. However, these images are of differing proportions (some landscape, some portrait, etc.), and are therefore are distorted
so that they completely fill the box on the report occupied by the image OLE object. Is there any particular set of settings in the report that will show the images in their correct proportions?
With thanks and bets wishes
Rupert
