I am trying to figure out how where the picture names/links are stored.
How do you know how many picture placeholders to assign in the report?
If you have a record in Table1 and the corresponding picture names are stored
in Table2 on a 1 to many relationships, which I believe would the recommended
approach, then you can create a parent and a child table in your report, and I
will print only pictures that are available and not display blank placeholders.
I will guess that your application is probable different
You can always create a blank picture that is basically a blank, thin sliver
and then, when you get your variables run something like this:
IF vFilename3 IS NULL THEN
SET VAT vFilename3 = ‘c:\BlankPic.jpg’
ENDIF
This will display the blank picture that should not take much space.
I am not sure how your data is structured in you application and hopefully, the
above is of help.

I'm guessing I have to go with a "null" image to display. Certainly easier
than the code to make the images visible or invisible.
I do not have to collapse the space, only one part prints on a page and the
photos are at the bottom

Not sure about a setting, perhaps someone else is.
But if not, you might consider a "default" image that is a simple white or
transparent square. Then predefine all 4 variables to "Default.jpg" (or what
ever).
Then if you do not assign an actual image, the default will always display.
No real code changes other than the variable filename predefault.
This would also allow you to display a default image for information or some
other nice option.
However if you are wanting to collapse the print space when both image 3 & 4
are null, this would not help.
And as you stated, the make invisible code would work as well.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - A "null" variable image
Hopefully I can explain this. I have attached a print-screen because my
embedded images don't show in the list emails.
Each part we print on this report can have unlimited (or no) photos saved on
disk. We will print no more than 4 on the page, so I am pulling 4 random
photos into my text variables (vfilename1, 2, 3, 4), and Variable Images are
located.
Works great except when I have null variables. As shown on the attached,
vFilename1 and vFilename2 have values and print the photos just fine. But
variables vFilename3 and vFilename4 are NULL (as shown below, my null setting
is actually ' ' when printing but I changed to -0- to show you the list).
The null ones have that weird white/red thing. I'm wondering if I am missing a
setting for these. I know I can write code to make controls invisible, but I
was hoping I'm missing something simple.
Any clues for me?
Karen
