Hi Moro,

1. If you are loading a jpeg or gif, be sure you have the corresponding
ReportBuilder units in your "uses" clause... ppJPEG, or ppGif.

2. You can load an image into a TppImage component by using the
TppImage.Picture.LoadFromFile method. For instance...

ppImage1.Picture.LoadFromFile('c:\myImage.bmp');

Try using the FileExists method in the SysUtils unit.

uses
SysUtils
...

lsFileName := 'c:\myImage.bmp';

if FileExists(lsFileName) then
ppImage.Picture.LoadFromFile(lsFileName);

Hi Moro,

For future reference, please post RAP questions in the RAP newsgroup. This
helps us understand exactly which part of ReportBuilder you are using so we
can answer your questions quicker and more accurately.

You will need to create a RAP Passthru function that allows you to use the
FileExists method. For an example of creating a passthru function for RAP,
please see the ReportBuilder Developer's Guide located in the
RBuilder\Developer's Guide\... directory.
