Hello Sir,

but its not working.It is hsowing the error.
Please tell me how to display the image in data report.

What is "the error" that is showing?

Hamed Nasr

Try to use the control's name directly. If we have Imag1 control, then
In format event,
Image1.Picture = "d:\tpf\av.bmp"

To Mr. LSMConsulting,
Sir I had used the following statement-
avgRating.Sections("section2").Controls.Item("image1").Picture = LoadPicture("d:\tpf\av.bmp")
But it is showing the error as:
"Object doesnt support this property or method"
How this error can be removed?

To hnasr,
sir where this code should be written?, I am accessing the data report thru vb form . If i write the code in vb form , it show the error cuase the control " image1" is a contorl of report, not of form.
So how to correct this error?

You don't use LoadPicture for this, just set the .Picture property to the full path to your image, as hnasr has shown you. You would obviously need to refer to your control correctly, as you seem to have done here:

avgRating.Sections("section2").Controls.Item("image1").Picture = "d:\tpf\av.bmp"
