Image Report Questions

Hi folks,

I'm trying to build a simple (or what should be simple) image report.  In a small application I have images, and I want to have a report spit them out as follows:

Name1          Name2          Name3
Image1         Image2          Image3
Desc1           Desc2            Desc3

Name4          Name5          Name6
Image4         Image5          Image6
Desc4           Desc5            Desc6

So, any ideas how to set that up in the Report builder?

Thanks!

I don't think you can do images through reports, not sure though. But it is feasible you could do it through that WordMerge code but I wouldn't know where to start, as far as what you need to change to make it do that. You could try just adding the field in Microsoft Word and see if it works. But I've heard that Microsoft Word visual basic can be hard to work with sometimes and I don't know much of that language myself. I had enough trouble just getting it to the save prompt and that was mostly through using Macros.

You can use images in reports...

Blair, You're gonna need to use a Freeform report and in that build an html table. Keep a loop of what record you are on. Every 3 records end the row and create a new row.

Hey ... I've inserted merge data images into MS Word before, here's the code I use:

Code
Select All
{ IF { INCLUDEPICTURE { IF TRUE { MERGEFIELD StaffSignature } } } { INCLUDEPICTURE { IF TRUE { MERGEFIELD StaffSignature }} \d } }
 



But I kind of need these images to output in an HTML report through Sesame if possible ...
