Static Picture in a report

To whom it may concern:

Is the static picture command working in Sesame in the report mode? I have successfully posted a static picture on my form. However, when I try to post that same picture on a report it does not work. I am using Sesame 1.1.3. I followed the directions on page 80 of the Sesame manual. My picture, called is esgage.bmp is located in the application image folder, pics. The location is the same folder as the supplied sample gem photos. I have tried two ways to try and post this on the report. I tried to post the static picture as C:\Sesame\Pics\esgage.bmp and as pics\esgage.bmp. Both methods would not display the picture in preview mode. Did I do anything wrong?

Thank you,

Kevin

Hello Kevin,

What is your application image path set to? It can be found under the application property manager.

Are you setting the name of the Static Image or are you setting the label? You need to set the label which can be done on the other tab of the property editor. You will need to set the label to the relative path of the image from the application image path. If the application image path is a . that means the current working directory which under a standard install is C:\Sesame.

Ray:

Application image path is Pics. I changed it from the default "." to "Pics." This allowed me post the picture on the form. When first designing the report, in the Report Header, I select Static Picture from the Layout Element adder. In the name, I tried 2 methods, 1. In name I typed C:\Sesame\Pics\esgage.bmp. 2. In name I typed Pics\esgage.bmp.
I also did as you suggested and changed the label to pics\esgage.bmp.

This still did not work.

Thanks,

Kevin
