Pictures In Crystal
Okay, so I have a place holder image in my crystal report. In the format graphic and graphics location of that place holder, I have a field that holds a URL to another image.
The only thing is when that url is in the field, The image comes out like 8x bigger than the place holder.
How do I make it the same size.

All the images are sadly different sizes, This is because they are sent through a programme called iforms, and different technicians take them so there is no guarantee.
I'll research some more but unless it has changed in the newer versions that is the way it is.
What version of Crystal are you using?

Crystal Report XI, I'll research a bit more aswell.
It would be good to learn something new about crystal.

CR XI is the version they added the ability to change the image through the formula. I am pretty sure you can't resize based on the image.

Ah okay, I'll consult with my colleague, because I am sure he found a way with our BER reports.
One of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports User Function Libraries (see list at: http://kenhamady.com/produ
Here is an example of how the UFL function is used for the "Graphics Location" expression: uflImageResize("http://www.ssa.org/images/home_header_left.gif", "c:\temp\Glider_Resized.pn
The first argument is the image source.
The 2nd argument is the local resized image created. You can convert on the fly between image formats by specifying a different file extension.
The 3rd & 4th arguments are width & height in points (72 points = 1 inch).
The next argument controls whether the image would maintain its proportion while not exceeding the specified dimensions.

I unticked the tick box for can grow in the format graphic
Are all the images the same size?
If so make sure your place holder image is the same size then size it through the Crystal controls and I believe the other images will work.
