Product Images in Crystal Reports

[jont]

Using Crystal Reports I can connect to the .MDB file to create a simple list of products with name, price, product reference etc.

Is there a way to output the product image field as an actual viewable image rather than the images\filename.jpg text path it seems to want to do at the moment?

Crystal v8.5

Not sure if this is possible - Jan I'm sure can confirm.

Thinking aloud - would it help doing the report in Access instead?

Cheers Duncan.

I can just about spell Acccesss let alone create reports Just need a simple list with images to act as a packing list / aide memoir for the warehouse team so thought Crystal would be perfect - which it is other than the image issue.

OK - I have written my first report in Access and now have a similar listing as in Crystal Reports ..... how do I set the image filename field to display the actual image and not the path to the filename?

Sorry Jont I missed this, you can only include images files if they are hardcoded in the report, you can show product images but you would need to load each one through a custom program.

There used to be a catalog printing plugin but it was discontinued, so you have the potential to turn your access report into a plugin if you wanted to.
