add bitmap with a script

Hi all

is it possible to add a bitmap to a report with a script?
I have a report which runs for about 50-times and I want to add every
report an other picture. I want not to send it 50-times to DAS.

  1. Add a table in the database that associates an image file name with each
    data value (e.g. data value 1 associated with c:\windows\circles.bmp)
  2. Add a cell in the report, and insert the file name field into it.
  3. Go to formatting, number, choose image, bitmap to display the image in
    the cell, rather than the path name.

Note that sizing the cell just right for the image can be a little tricky,
since by default, it resizes the image to the cell, rather than the
opposite…

Speaking of this is there a way to add an image and embed it directly in
the document without having to reference an external file?

There is. At least, if the image is to be displayed in the report - not
in a table:

  • choose Object… from the Insert menu
  • select the area where you want the image to be displayed
  • check the ‘Create from file’ option in the Insert Object dialog
