Inserting picture
Susanne 12/17/2008 3:32:06 PM
I couldn't find another location to put this question out, so I apologize.

This is probably not what you think, I don't need to create an OLE Object or
anything. All I want to do is put my company's logo on an invoice / packing
slip which are both set up in reports. Everytime I have tried inserting,
copy and pasting, and paste special, the picture blows WAY up. Then when I
reduce the size, it crops it instead of resizing the logo. I've tried both
draggin the lines and in the property box. The graphics department doesn't
know what to do, it works great in Word and other programs. Any suggestions?

THANKS!!!!!

You will probably have to insert an object on your form. This will allow you
to select clip, or stretch for the size of the object.

Mike is right but you should be able to select the properties of the picture
you have inserted in the way you have done it and set the Size Mode to
Stretch. (Right Click the picture with the report in design mode)

It would be better to insert a Bitmap Picture that is resized more to the
size you require. However, I have inserted our logo in the same manner as
you, (Insert Picture) pulled the picture to size and set Size Mode to Stretch
with the desired effect but it was resized and Bitmap.

I Hope this helps???
