insert object - water mark

i dont want to put a text/formula fields.
i need something like water mark, which is on top of some text.

Unless you embedd a graphic in your report and conditionally display it, I know there is no "watermark" feature in CR.

There is, however, a watermark feature in most HPGL/PCL compatible printers.  Not at the office now, but I think the W2K HP drivers have a feature like this, or maybe it was the msoffice printer setup.  can't remember.

Let me know if you want to pursue this approach.

Suppose you have a column name and you want to use "watermark" on some name.
as there is no facility for this in crystal you can achive this by doing the following:
select the name column. Right click on it.
format field-> Border->Background
there write a formulae
if {dbo.db.name} = "MICHELLE" then crsilver
else
crwhite.
when you will print the report you will find watermark like appearence on the name MICHELLE.
Best of luck

P.S.  For year 2000 questions, special attention is needed to ensure the first correct response is awarded, since they are not in the comment date order, but rather in Member ID order.

It is requested that any grade less than an A include comments by you as to why.  This not only helps the expert, but others who may now seek this solution in our PAQ database.  If this grade was chosen in error, let me know, I can correct it.  The points to you are always the same, but the expert points granted depend on the grade.

Thanks,
