How do I print a photo on a report?

[Guest]

I've linked a jpeg to a bound object (OLE) and the report only prints the
name of the file.

Whenever you count on OLE Objects and Bound OLE Frames, you subject yourself
not only to the quirkiness of OLE itself, but to the quirkiness of whatever
software the user has registered for the file type of the image file.
Perhaps not surprisingly, sometimes the combination won't work in Reports.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the only use I make of this feature for displaying
pictures is in examples -- in the "real world", I either use an Image frame,
or a third-party Control.

The examples to which Duane referred illustrate using images with Forms.

reports... http://www.lebans.com.
