Hello,

VS 2005 & SQL 2005

I have a database field called signature and is an image datatype (binary data).

I am trying to display that signature in a crystal reports.

The signature has been displayed properly in the database as I can display the signature into a picture box using a memory stream. So I know the picture is there.

I am using typed datasets.

In CR i have dragged the signature field on to the crystal report and when i hover the mouse over it comes up with BLOB field.

However, when I run crystal reports it doesn't nothing in that field.

Is something more I have to do to display a picture in crystal reports?

Many thanks,

Steve

What format is the picture in when stored in an image field?  In Oracle, they get stored in just a plain BLOB field, but I've found that I can't display .GIF images from there, but JPeg images will work.

Problem resolved.
 
Something stupid. I forgot to put the report in the application.start folder.
