Embeding Image (jpg) on report from a weblink...

**monatin** · 06-01-2012, 09:25 AM

I am trying to generate a report that will have a place holder of a image from the web link (www.domain.com/image/sku_1.jpg). I was not able to do it. Can Anyone help me?

I don't believe v9 desktop has any such capability.

How do I do it on v11?

I didn't say you could. Maybe an embedded grid component supercontrol?

Thanks I will try that.

I presume you're speaking of having a dynamic capability in that if the image on the web changes so would the report the next time it is printed?

Looks like you can do that on a form with a web content supercontrol but not on a report.

Would you be kind enough to provide me a sample?

Import this layout to the customer table in AlphaSports.

I am lost! What am I doing?

Save the attachment to your machine. Go the forms tab of the control panel. Right click in the blank area and choose Import Layout. Navigate to the saved file. If requested supply the table name as customer. Should be available in V11.

If that option is not available in V9, attached is a zip of the customer table (renamed) and support files. Unzip and add to one of your databases. **Come to think of it, the web content suppercontrol is probably not available in V9. Probably won't work there.**
