Crystal Reports veriable assignment

I am working on a crystal reports project. for some reason when I assign a path to a variable it returns a number instead of the path. Here is my script

Dim myPich As StdPicture
Set myPich = LoadPicture("C:\Program Files\Denali\Program pics\logo_large.gif")
Set Picture3.FormattedPicture = loadpicture(myPich)

I get the error "File not found '-1627059993'

when i check the variable assignment of "mypich" it shows that number. Where is it coming from ?

funny this is some times it works good and sometimes it assigns the number.:confused:

It is the handle to the picture you have previously loaded into memory with the Load Picture function...

i.e.

Set MyPich = LoadPicture(...

So as of this line being executed, you have loaded an image into memory and the MyPich.Picture points to that memory location and this is what you are retrieving when you try...

Set Picture3.FormattedPicture = LoadPicture(MyPich)

To Fix...

Set Picture3.FormattedPicture = MyPich



Good Luck

OK resolved that problem thank you. Now I have another. I have 6 pics that need to be loaded dynamically. The first two load but when i try to load the third i get permission denied error.

Without having a look at your code...
