Hi Everyone,

I writing an application that is using a report builder report.

On the reports detail band, i have some fields which are being displayed
(which all works fine) but i also have a field that has a path to an image
in the file system.

What i want to do, is display the image from the path stored in the database
next to the fields that i am retrieving from the database.

Is there an easy way to do this!!!

Thank you in advance.

Regards,



Trevor

    DBImage can optionally be connected to a datafield that contains file
    namesThe images will be loaded from file automatically.

    When you say DBImage,

    is the the DBImage component within the Delphi VCL, or is it your report
    builder DBImage.

    If so, what properties do i need to set to ake this work. Because that would
    be a better option.

    TppDBImage component. Configure TppDBImage properties: DataPipeline and
    DataField (same as for any data-aware control in ReportBuilder).

    TppDBImage supports two scenarios:

    1. The DataField can be a blob field that contains images

    2. The DataField can be a string field that contains image file names, for
    example, 'c:\myPictures\Image1.bmp'
