I would suggest that you put in TWO (2) 'dummy' comments, then do the external object BETWEEN them. Some version of Pcdmis have problems with deleting external objects by themselves, you can't 'grab' them to delete them, but with a comment before and after, it is easy.sigpic

INSERT
REPORT COMMAND
EXTERNAL OBJECT
mark CREATE FROM FILE
the BROWSE for it
double click on the picture
click on OK
MARK the object as it appears in the EDIT WINDOW
There are 4 levels or 'marked':
not marked
outside of box 'highlighted'
inside of box 'highlighted'
both in and outside 'highlighted'
You want BOTH,sigpic

One thing you will find with this method is that it will "pause" your program and open the picture. When you are done looking at the picture, you have to click "continue" to finish the program.
I put all my setup pictures on one page and create a .pdf of it. That way, there is only one file to insert/open and it has several different views.

Then after creating the FORM go to...
INSERT>REPORT>FORM>. Save the form "as" somewhere you want them, and in the form is insert object(pretty little picture scene) See my screenshotsLast edited by JamesMannes; 05-18-2007, 02:09 PM.sigpic

In a FORM, at least you can add text, and edit that text. If for example I add my text via SNAGIT(screen capture software) it is made a part of the .jpg and you cannot remove/change it afterward.
I just add the text in Microsoft Paint and then save the text and the picture together. Then open it as one in my program. The comment after the external command is to stop the program and give the operator time to close the picture.sigpic
