I hope that solves it John.
I've had the same issues before so it rang a bell. :-)
All the best!

Hi Philip,
That shows up the problem. I was creating the exe in the source code folder then moving it up a level before running it whereas the app was created at the same level as it was being run at. It's never caused a problem before, I'll have to see how it works outside the development environment now :-)
Thanks
John

Hi John,
Try opening your FRX file as a table then browse for the image record:
BROWSE FOR objtype=17 FIELDS picture
Open up the memo field and look at the exact path and name of the image:
for example:
"..\yourimage.jpg"
How is it relative to your main folder file placements and subfolder where
it is
stored?

Hi Tracy,
Not sure what you mean by *copy it out*. For development purposes I put everything in a set of sub-folders within a single main folder. The
data is
in one sub-folder and the source code, including the image, is in
another
sub-folder. Both the app and the exe sit next to one another inside the main folder so the path to the image is identical.

John,
Is the image in a relative path to the report. The image needs to be on the disk, not in the executable. *(unless you
copy
it out)*
HTH, Tracy

I have written a membership system for a local organisation. I decided
to
add
a facility to email a membership card to a member instead of posting
it.
I created a report which consists of a jpg image containing the
background
and base text, a scan of the original blank card, with 3 fields
superimposed to
hold name, membership no and expiry date. The image is in the page
header
section as it uses global variables for the data; I tried putting it in
the body
and using a single record cursor but the system insisted on producing
three
cards on the same sheet for some reason. The card is produced as a PDF using FoxyPreviewer and sent as an attachment. When I run it from VFP
as
an app it works perfectly but when I run it from the exe the report
contains
the data but not the background image.
I'm baffled! Any suggestions would be gratefully received :-)
