     Posted: 17 May 2011 at 3:28am
Hi,

i'm trying to make a report using CR XI DEV, and I want to make dynamic images using Picture -> Graphic Location. I finally got it to work by installing Visual Studio 2005 Pro, it's getting images from either http locations, from SQL, from network discs etc - just work flawless.

The problem is, that when i try to use this report on my ERP application on OTHER computer - I can't see dynamic images, only the default one that I'm using. I don't want to install whole Visual Studio 2005 Pro on every client's machine - is there one simple library i have to use or only one simple feature of entire VS2005 Pack that I need to install on other machines?

P.S. Sorry for my english.

Best regards,
Daniel

I don't know if it will help, but maybe you can try one of those "redistributable" packages for visual studio from microsoft's website.

"the dynamic images feature in Crystal Reports (where you can conditionally change image paths via a formula within the report itself), does not work in the free .net implementation. This feature is only available if the report is being run via CR Server"

Is that true? :/

I believe it is true.The image would need to be on the same drive as the report and database.Have you considered making a master report and then customising it with an OLE picture for each client?

My images are from URL (for example "http://site.com/img/image_id.jpg"), not local/network discs. It's working all right with Crystal XI Report Designer Components installed on each client. The problem is, i don't have such many licences, so i can't install this components legally (it's asking for serial no matter what). I can't download it either from any source.

You could store the images in a database as a image (Data type). and then just read it from the database.
