Report Picture

Allows you to include bitmaps, icons, or other information in your report.

On the Report Controls toolbar, press Picture/OLE Bound Control.

Information on the Report Controls toolbar is available in Report Controls Toolbar.
Place the control on a report or label.

The Report Picture dialog box is displayed
Specify Picture Form options.
1. Select File and type the path and file name of the bitmap or icon, or press to use the Open form to select the desired bitmap or icon file
  
  Note: (FH Enterprise) Use Universal Naming Convention (UNC) to graphic files (assuming all workstations have access to the resource) to ensure that all workstations can display the graphic.
2. Select Field and select a "General" field to include in your report or label.
3. Press to open the Choose Field/Variable form for selecting the field, or type the name of the field.
  
  Information on the Choose Field/Variable form is available in Choose Field/Variable.
  
  If a "General" field in the table contains an object other than a picture or a chart (for example, a Microsoft Excel worksheet or a Microsoft Word document), an icon representing the object is printed in the report or label.
Specify If Picture and Frame Different Size options.
1. Select Clip Picture to shows a section of the original picture in the frame, keeping the picture's original dimensions if the picture is bigger than the frame you created in the Report or Label Designer.
  
  The picture is anchored at the top and at the left of the frame. The lower-right portion of the picture that extends beyond the frame is not visible.
2. Select Scale Picture Retain Shape to display the whole picture, filling as much of the frame as possible while retaining the relative proportions of the picture.
  
  This protects your picture from vertical or horizontal distortion.
3. Select Scale Picture Fill the Frame to display the whole picture, filling the frame completely.
  
  If necessary, the picture will be distorted vertically or horizontally to fit the frame.
Specify Object Position.
1. Select Float to specify that the selected picture moves relative to the size of the surrounding fields.
2. Select Fixed Relative to Top of Band to position the picture as defined in the Report or Label Designer and maintains that position relative to the top of the band.
3. Select Fixed Relative to Top of Band to position the picture as defined in the Report or Label Designer and maintains that position relative to the bottom of the band.
4. Select Center Picture to ensure that "General" field pictures smaller than the frame are centered in the report or label frame.
  
  The pictures included in a General field can be a variety of shapes and sizes. If the picture in a General field is smaller than the frame, it will be displayed in the upper-left corner of the frame unless you select Center Picture.
  
  Note: If you are including a bitmap or icon file in your report or label, Center Picture will have no effect on the single picture. Because a single picture has known parameters, the picture will never be smaller than the frame.
Press Print When to specify when the picture is printed in your report or label.

The Print When dialog box is displayed.

Information on the Print When dialog box is available in Print When.
Type Comments.

Note: Comments are entirely for your reference and do not appear in the printed report or label.
