Re: a "Selected" Graphic in a Report Header

Rick,
First, thanks for the response,
I think you misunderstand me, or I didn't clearly relate.
I want the user to be able to change the graphic (bmp) being
displayed in the report header by selecting the file name of that
graphic from a drop down box (on a form) (based on a table of the file
names of the graphics loaded on the drive).

Thanks again for all the help this group has provided ! Simply
amazing.

I have a database that I use to create a "class listing" each month,
works pretty good, I am trying to enhance it. On the form I use to
select the Classes that will show on the report I want to add a drop
down selection that will allow me to select a graphic to be displayed
in the report header.

I will use a table query in the dropdown to select a txtfilename for
the graphic file to be linked. I will build the table with flie names
as text.

My problem is I don't know where to start mostly,

I presume the easiest way is a link to a graphic file(txtfilename)
that can be displayed in the header.
What type of control do I need in the header and specifically how
do I tell the control to link.
The resulting report will be a print to PDF file from the current
machine.

Or is there a better way ?

Use an image control and set the Picture property of the control in the Open
Event of your report to the desired image file.
