Well, I would simply note that it was Razzak that had the ['correct'] answer.

While in Report Designer, using the Expression Builder, define a "TEXT" variable as follows: Name: vImage Type: TEXT Expression: (IFEXISTS(EvenTone,'Ev1Yes.bmp','Ev1No.bmp')) Calculate On: D or appropriate band -- Assuming that all images are placed in the same folder. 02. Now place a "Variable Image" control on appropriate band of the report with corresponding Left, Top, Width, and Height coordinates assigned to "vImage" variable. Also, make sure to check the following options: . Center . Maintain Aspect Ratio . Stretch . Visible 03. Save the report 04. Use [Report Preview] option to view and change anything that needs to be adjusted. 05. Save all changes and close the report designer. That's all there is to it! If you are curious as to why a TEXT Variable is assigned to a Variable Image and how R:BASE Report Engine interprets the actual image, I will explain, if desired. If you need a sample application to demonstrate the use of such technique in Reports, Forms, and Labels, feel free to send me a private e-mail. Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
