DBImage In Preview

rbuser

Delphi 6 SP2 / RB Server 7.04 / Stock preview form

Using DBImage and connecting it to the path where my JPEG resides works
great when designing and previewing the report in the designer.

When I call up the report from Delphi via rsClientReport1.print the photos
don't show in the preview form or print on the printer. No errors are
generated.

I must be missing something?

Thanks - Jon Gray

In the server app and the client app make sure to add ppJPEG to the uses
clause.

That was part of it. Unfortunately it just dawned on me that using RBServer
the DBImage path such as C:\TEMP\PHOTO.JPG is really referring to a folder
on the SERVER, not on the client workstation.

Is it safe to assume the only way to print user definable photos is to store
them in the database?

You could store them on a network drive and directory that resides on the
server or is accessible by the server. Or database. The key is that the
server needs access to the images.
