Hi. I have a report that I need in some sort of "edit"-able file.

I have tried to export the report to MS Word but one of the text fields
contains the file name of a graphic that I include in the report (different
for each record) and the graphic does not show.

I thought that maybe I can somehow use a document template and do a Mail
Merge with the data I use for the report, but I cannot figure out how to
include that graphic that I need.

Currently, I do not store the graphic iteself in the table, but rather only
the file name. I am willing to change that field to an OLE Object if that
would work.

In the Word document, I have tried using {INCLUDEPICTURE fieldname} to get
the graphic to load but all I get is a some wierd sort of error.

Any ideas where I can get more help on this would be appreciated!

TIA,
Aliza
 
You may find the answer amongst Stephen Lebans 'Report Utilities', at http://www.lebans.com

Otherwise, you could print the report to a pdf printer driver (Acrobat, PDF995 etc) and edit this file
with suitable tools.
