Report doesnt fetch images from path

Post by stevemca »

I am new to this so may well have missed something elementary. I have followed the sheepdog guides upto now without problem.
Using oob3.4 with windows vista with all updates.

I am trying to produce a simple catalogue for fish. I have produced a report with Oracle Report builder extension which has the image (from path) and the name for each entry alongside. The report is displaying the image of the first data entry (fish) , in every image ie not updating/fetching the image for every entry. The names are being displayed correctly. I have selected the correct data field in the data tab for the properties of the graphic box on the report and changed the scale setting to keep ratio. the rest of the settings have been let as default.

Can anyone point me in the right direction pls :?:

There are some issues with ORB in respect to graphs. Maybe also with images, please try to use OOo 3.3.x if that is possible. (If you upload a demo version I can test it for you).

Try my example database: http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/do ... hp?id=5182
It works for me in AOO 4.4.1 with Ariel's built report builder: http://people.apache.org/~arielch/extensions/
(the charts not working)
Add images with form and run report.
Please report your results back.
