We have a requirement where we need to print images on the standard baan report
Eg:Print Production order documents (tisfc0408m000).

The images should be printed on each details line.
For example: Corresponding to each item, an image is printed side by side. We could have more than 3,00,000 items.

We have to achieve the same WITHOUT using
(1) Cognos or Crystal reports
(2) Export to Word and writting a Visual Basic macro


I am aware that through baan we can print about only about 24 images using BWPRINT.

We do not use PLM Integration with LN.


We are also not implementing Baan Object Data management as ODM has a limitation wherby images cannot be merged with data in standard reports. It can only be printed seperately. Our requirement is that the images are merged with the data in the report. That corresponding to each item in the report,an image is printed by the side of it.



Can you suggest any other way to print 3,00,000 images maybe by customization of the report layout and script? Or is they any other way ?


Kind regards,

Fredrick

I have done already several reports with multiple (upto thousands) of images using html and my own 3GL conversion script, with success. Look at the thread mentioned by George, and also at the link to the other thread there, that should give you enough information on how to implement it. If you need more help, don't hesitate to ask here...

Our e-form (http://www.xpert-inc.com/solutions/electronicForms/) solution has the ability to print images in the manner that you are asking by item for each line. The product can be configured to retrieve images from a fixed directory location or from a dynamic directory location. If you would like to know more please feel free to contact me.


Thank-you.

just go through it

Hi

Just try it

Hi Deb,

The issue here is to print thousands of images on one report. As I understand your LN solution puts only 1 image.

Thanks a million for your post. I was trying to use the 1st solution you posted where u make chages "<IMG src='C:\ln61\image\sample2.gif' align='right'>".
