Assign JPEG to TppImage

rbuser

For two days now, I've been trying to assign a jpeg image from a database
blob field to a TppImage in Report Builder 6. I get a error message saying "
bitmap is not valid " error. The code below works if the blob contains a BMP
file. The code:

ppimgLogo.Picture.Assign(frmMain.tblConfigCompanyLogo);

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks.

You can use the dbImage and change it's type to JPG, in that case you won't need
to assign it manually.
You must include the ppJpeg in the uses clause.

I'm trying to use a ppImage because it does not need a database field as a
source. I have an ancestor form with a ppReport that has a standard look and
feel of all my reports with the company logo. Can I assign a jpeg image to a
dbImage without a datasource?

won't need

Have you added ppJPEG to your uses clause?

You should not try to assign the JPEG to a TppDBImage, but rather use a
TppImage.
