Hi,
I'm working with reports 6i to generate reports with the runtime.
I'd like to add an image using its URL.
I followed the documentation which says:
Quote:To link an image object to a URL:
1 In the Live Previewer view, click in the tool palette. Note
2 Click and drag a rectangle.
3 Double-click the link file object to display the Property Palette.
4 Under the Link File Boilerplate node:
n Set the Source File Format property to Image URL.
n Set the Source Filename property to the URL where the image is located with the required protocol.
Examples :
Following are examples of specifying URLs for images:
1 HTTP: //www .oracle.com/images/logo.gif
2 HTTP: // &<P_SERVER_NAME>/images/logo.gif
where P_SERVER_NAME is a user parameter of type CHAR
At runtime, the end user can specify a value for the parameter (e.g., P_SERVER_NAME = www.oracle.us.com for a dynamic URL link of HTTP: //www .oracle.us.com/images/logo.gif).
3 FILE://c:/images/logo.gif
Note: If you click Browse to find a file, Report Builder automatically prepends FILE:// to the returned path.
I tried diferents path for the Source Filename(HTTP , FILE:/) but nothing works, I only get a frame with the URL instead of the image (the link is correct if I check it in a browser).
Any idea ?
If I put "Source File Format" as Image and put the network path, no problem, but I'd like to retrieve the image with http.
I'm thinking in using a BLOB to store the image but it doesn't look so nice 
Thanks a lot for your advices.
