Crystal Report The Takes A Web URL And Displays The Image

0 Kudos
2,471

I am working in Crystal Reports 2020. I have an SQL query that I am basing the report off of. One of the fields is a URL for an image. I'd like the report to be a table of data that shows Item, QTY, etc, but the URL field I want to display the actual image instead of the text URL. Is this possible, and how can I go about achieving it?

I haven't tried this, but it might work:

- Place an Picture object on your report. Use a default picture that you want to show if the report can't find the picture in the URL.

- Right-click on the OLE picture object and select "Format Graphic".

- Go to the "Picture" tab.

- Click on the formula button to the right of "Graphic Location".

- Select the field that contains the URL and add it to the formula box.

- Save and Close, then OK.

Dell's solution works for http:\\ targets.

I believe that for https:// image targets you would need a UFL (User Function Library) as a solution.
