Picture Properties - General Tab

Access this tab using Reports>Forms Designer>OK button>Insert Picture> Properties.

Use this tab to add a graphic to the layout. For example, a company logo may need to be inserted on a check or invoice. After all selections are made, click OK, and the system applies the properties to the layout.

Note: Be sure to store a bitmap locally to restrict access to it (such as a signature).

Select Bitmap File: Click Browse and add the graphic to the layout. This graphic has to be a bitmap (*.bmp). You cannot use a *.jpeg or a *.gif file.

Keep in mind that each time the template is used for printing, the program looks for the picture in the path specified in this box. If the picture file has been moved or deleted, the picture will not appear on the layout or on the printed form. We recommend storing the bitmap files in the Formats directory.

Display Picture in Original Size: Select this check box to display the graphic in its original size. If the check box is not selected, the picture is resized to fit into the field on the layout.

Size and Position: The system displays the size and position for the graphic on the layout, but its parameters can be changed if needed.

• Left, Top: Enter the number, in inches, for the system to place the graphic from the left and top edge of the screen.
• Width, Height: Enter the width and height of the graphic.
