Hi,

I've had a search around the forum but can find no reference to this at all.

I have a report that is reliant on a stored proc. It returns the path to an image ("/images/drawing1.wmf").

The problem is, no matter what I do, I cannot get it to display the image. I have tried: ="http:/machinename/" & Fields!PICTURE.Value in the Value field, but nothing. Not even an error.

I have been strugling to do this with Crystal reports for about a fortnight now (uncluding upgrades etc...) and finally gave up and am now trying to use RS (2000).

I used to be able to do this sort of thing in seconds using MSAccess version 2. Surely this is still possible?

Is the patch specified relative to the server and not your client?
Could there be firewall issues/access issues?

I have run this locally too - and I am not running a firewall locally, so I think it's just something to do with WMF's maybe?

have you tried with other files? Remind me what is wmf > Windows Media File? If so thats not really an image is it ?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Windows Meta Files - they are image files (sort of).

but...to answer your question, yes I have also converted them to GIF's but it still doesn't display them???

The whole site now has anon access - but the image folder already did, so I was clutching at straws when I did that.

Baffled!??!

Strange have you tried:

"../images/drawing1.gif"

as the path as well ?
