Topic: Image Binary Field Posted: 07 May 2008 at 7:28am
Hi
everybody,
I’m storing a file (.doc) into an
image binary field in SQL Server. But I can’t output them in crystal report 9.0. Works perfectly when the file is an image. Could some one help me with this
problem? I’m trying hard a long time.

have you tried adding an OLE object to Crystal? You need a control that natively displays the binary format you are working with.

I'm not very familiar with SQL server - does it have a "typed" blob field for images or is this just a plain blob field? It probably won't work from an Image type field as Crystal will want to display it as an image. The only image types that it will display are .bmp, .tiff, .jpg, .png, and .wmf.
I just did some quick checking in Crystal, I don't think that there's a way to do this.
