Dynamic Graphic Location Question in XI Release 2

Former Member

Hi All,

I 've had a search through the forums, but can't find an answer to this.

I have a simple purchase order report that is used by some software of ours that used to be in CR 7. Each site that uses the report has a different logo at the top. Previously I had to create a seprate version with a static logo. I have now upgrade to Crystal XI and am using the Dynamic Graphic Location feature so the users can change their logos if they need to.

The problem is, each site's logo is a different size, so when I load it dynamically, it gets squashed or elongated.

Is there a way of loading the image without it automatically resizing to the OLE object size ?

I have tried making the initial OLE object image small, then using 'Can Grow' but this does not seem to work.

If not, then I'm left with the option of specifying that the image must be a specific size, including white space.

There only seems to be a formula for X and Width , not height, else I might be able to pass in width and height as parameters (converted from pixels to cms) and resize the image that way.

I should note that this report is being called using the RDC in VB 6

Anyone got any ideas ??

I've heard many complaints about this. Unfortunately, there is no way to correct it.

Thanks, I thought as much.

I'm going to go down the route that the image used must be a specific height and width in pixels, so if the actual logo is smaller or larger, the user will just have to resize and create an image with white space in a graphics package.

I have to say I'm not overly impressed with CR XI R2 at the moment (have had the trial version for about a week). Sure there are some nice new features over CR 7 and quite a few improvements, but there are still a lot of banging your head against the desk moments that I have come to accept over the years with CR 7 {:o)

I'm stuck with it in my legacy apps, but I'm considering SSRS for new VS 2008 apps.

Thanks , I saw that thread. It doesn't however solve the problem of the image resizing. As mentioned above,just gone with telling the clinets that the image must be of a specific fixed size, then it will show correctly.

Cheers
