    Using Pictures as varibles in a form


    Hi,

    I'm creating a form that will be used as a letter, which will be sent to across different states.

    Each state has a different signatory, and I require the ability to use only one letter and apply an image as a variable for that signature.

    Has anyone done anything similar to this before?

    Cheers

    Tom

    In theory you should have a list in a table of all your signatories with a link to an image file of their signature. Then in your report you would add an image control where the signature is located. Then in the same section use a link to set the image to be that of the signatory. This can be done by either using a DLookup or setting the path in the picture property.
