Form Emulation

edited August 2004 in General
The manual explains how to use an WMF image to emulate a form. I'm
using GraphicEx which allows me to loan tif images. Is there any
reason I can not simply substitute an TIF image for the WMF image?

Thanks

Craig

    Hi,

    The faster way to design a form report is using Grid Pack for
    ReportBuilder at www.planit-tech.com, The speed is much more faster than
    loading whole WMF image into the report.

    Hi Craig,

    We suggest using a WMF because a WMF file consists of drawing instructions
    for vector graphics on your screen, meaning that when you resize or print
    the image, you will not loose any accuracy or the image will not appear
    distorted in any way. It is definitely possible to use an image such as a
    .tiff file in its place but the output may not be as precise.
