Dear Superfly

You are to be commended for your creative approach to using ACCPAC data with graphics! Unfortunately, there is no way to link graphics to data, let alone to each separate record!

Perhaps using another datasource to get at your IC65 data (such as MS Access?) to get the item's picture would be possible. I wish we could assist you in this, but we can only support Crystal Reports for Adagio in it's use with either strictly ACCPAC Plus or Adagio datafiles.

Seagate may be able to help you with this though, as you also register with them after installing RPWIN.

Good luck!

Hi Superfly,

The Hyperlink function in Crystal Reports 8.5 is limited to launching an application to load an indicated file. There really is no way that I can think of to have the picture files automatically load for each detail. It seems that you are stuck with manually loading a single picture with an application (such as MS Paint) when clicking on the link field, which contains the file name and location.

For the benefit of others reading this, you would have to enter the exact location of the picture file into the description file. Then format the field on the report to have a Hyperlink, selecting the Current Field Value option. For files such as pictures, the syntax for the field value is:

"file:///C:\Softrak\DATA\image.bmp"

but without the quotes.

Regards,


Top
