Printing grahics and text within a report
Delphi 7 Reportbuilder 9.01
I need to achieve the following:
Be able to quickly change the Images and text within a report.
The data for the report needs to be stored in MYSQL database. ( I can do
this).
I then need to view & change the data (eg in RTF format, but I cannot store
images within the RTF.)
EG we print out once a month a cheque run. I change this weeks offer text to
XXX and images to xxx.jpg and store in table. When I run the report the new
"offers" are printed on the cheques.
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers

If all the data (text and images) are stored on your database, then
creating a dynamic report based on this data should be straight forward.
Simply place a DBRichText object and a DBImage on your report where it needs
to be and connect the report and DB components to the proper dataset/fields.
Then if you need to print a specific picture or text field, try using the
AutoSearch feature to filter your dataset.
Take a look at the autosearch demos located in the \RBuilder\Demos\5.
AutoSearch\... directory.
