Crystal Reports and Images
-
My Goal: Run a report with a bmp image on it. I want each time I run the report to be able to pull the image in. The name of the image will never change but the image will. Problem: When I run report the image never changes like crystal reports is saving the original image somewhere, but where? How do I get crystal reports to grab the new created image file? Thanks. I am new at Crystal reports.

If you embed the image in the report from a bmp on the file system, it gets embedded into the RPT file and is not referenced from the file system again. Storing files (images) in the DB sucks, but you can put the img in the database and have it show up on the report. When the db image changes, the report image changes and you would get the behaviour you want.

I have found that this is not only a problem with crystal reports with images, but also those that do not have parameters passed to them. I have got around this in the past by passing the report a datetime value of now. The report when run detects that there is a change and does not cache the data. I hope this has been helpful. Regards
