Crystal Reports 2011 dynamic image
My users need to dynamically add their signature to the reports that they produce. The signatures is saved on the network as .jpg file. The path for each user signature is stored in one of the database fields (e.g. C:\Signarures\John.jpg).
It appears that in crystal reports you can insert a picture and then set the path of the picture dynamically by using the formula with the filed containing the path. However, so far I was unable to get it to work. No error messages, the picture will simply not change. Any advice?

Actually it is working!!! The problem was that when I inserted the picture the first time I used a signature insted of a blanck picture. Therefore, if I had no signature picture for one of the employee, the system automatically shows the default initial picture that I use to crete the picture object, giving the impression that it was always displaying the same thing.
Good information. I had forgotten about that issue. I don't work with images at all in the reports I build.
