Is there a limit on DBImage data size

lawrencek

I have a 100 page report with some 50 DBimages per page. Is there a limit on the JPEG size from the database? Some are small 50K whereas some are3MB. The program crashes randomly. Does the JPEG data get drawn on the image and effectively get compressed, and can one alter the compression? Sometimes I get "insufficient memory". Should I use a lain image and shrink the JPEG before loading it into the image?

Hi Lawrence,

Load the report definition (if stored in file or database).

Try setting Report.PreviewFormSettings.SinglePageOnly to True and Report.ThumbnailSettings.Enabled to False and Report.CachePages to False.

Save the report definition.

Test the report. If the issue persists, try shrinking the images.

I will try that. But does the size of the JPG in the database make a difference? The only way I can shrink them is at run time and use a normal ppImage. I thought that the image was simply written to the image "canvas" which is small. Can I set the properties of the ppimage to help?
