How do I place it on the report if there is no item to place it on? I will try to be more specific. I have a field that is on the report it is call run number. Depending on what the run number is I will need to place the value of Run Number in the hyperlink and have the actual web page print on the report, and is also printed out with the report. I have purchased a crystal incident if this one is more detail then the forum allows

James:

For instance, you could

put a textbox on your report,

right click

go to "Format Textbox",

go to the Hyperlink tab, select

"Web site",

fill in the hyperlink box "http://www.websitenamehere" & FieldNumberHere & ".com"

The web site only shows when you click on the box. I want it to automatically display on the report when the report is run and then printed off...

I don't think you can do that.

The web site is a dynamic page.

If it were a "snapshot" of the web site, then you could put it

in a picture box.

Someone will have to click the link in order to trigger it.

It might be possible to trigger this event if

you were wrapping the .rpt file in code (C#, VB, JAVA, etc)

On the printing, you might be able to set up having a .pdf

sent from the report server.

Can you expound on how to do the snapshop of the web site? it sound like that may be what I need in a picture box. as this data that is display is static and not dynamic

James,

Try Insert / Ole Object from the menus at the top of the design page.

There should be a type of file in that list that will work for you.

It's pretty easy and flexible.

Also, look at the the post from today called

"Insert a bitmap image into a Crystal Report Dynamically".

It should be on the first or second page of today's posts (9.15.08).

There's more good info there.

Hope this helps,
