Dynamic image in Crystal report 10.5

[Former Member]

Hi

I am using Visual Studio 2008 with Crystal Report Basic 10.5.

I would like to add a signature image in the crystal report(pdf,word,excel formats) while generating the report. This image is stored as byte array in the database. The report already have a datasource, so I wish to set this image as parameter field.

There is no option found in the OLE object to set the image source dynamically.

The window platform is 64 bit.

Is there any way to achieve this with Crystal report 10.5.

I cant upgrade the Visual Studio 2008 to higher version as of now due to the project requirements.

Kindly provide me the ways to do this.

Many Thanks,

Priya

Try searching before posting. this has been answered multiple times.

Add your OLE Object and then edit it's settings and use a database field in a formula to select the image from the DB.

Thanks Don.

Apologies if my understanding is wrong.

I have already tried below solutions given in other posts but which are not working for CR Basic 10.5.

1) Setting OLE object Graphic Location : Since I am using Crystal report basic 10.5, there is no Graphic Location option in the OLE object - Format Object window.

2) I have added a string parameter field in the report and set as OLE object hyperlink file. On run time, fetched the image byte array from database and set to this parameter field. This is also not working.

Many Thanks,

Priya
