    Posted: 02 Sep 2008 at 1:07am
Hello,
 
I have a report with some linked OLE objects. I have a problem with the OLE path that can't be changed at runtime.
 
Is there a way of creating an OLE object at runtime, or should I just create
a temp folder to put the image..
 
Regards

Which version of Crystal are you using?  Are you using OLE just for images or for other types of OLE objects?  Can you add a table to your database where you can store the image path?
 
If you're using XI or 2008, your objects are just images, and you can store the image path, you can insert an "Image" instead of an "OLE Object" into your report and set the path to the image file based on a field in your data.  You may also be able to set the path this way using a parameter to the report (I haven't tried this, though...)

Hello,
 
I'm using just the embeded one that comes with the visula studio 2005. I also have access to crystal 7.0 but that's not much help :-)
 
OLE is just for pitures.
 
As you see I'm stuck, untill we upgrade our development software.
 
Thank you for your reply
Best regards
