Title: including an image into the report
Post by: someonesreallycool on 18 Jan 2006 10:57:03 PM
Hi,
  I need to add an image to my report. For this I first need to query the database, retrieve the url and then display it. How do i go about doing this ??  The images are stored on the server itself... so location of images is not a problem.
I am using Congos 1.1 MR1
Database is IBM DB2

Drop the query item that contains the image URL into your list.

Drop in image in your list item (or whereever), then on the "URL Source" property set the "Query Item" drop down to the query item that holds the URL (the one you just added).

Then, to not show the URL List Item, click on it and Cut it so it stays in the query but isnt shown.

Regards,

-Mike
