  Hi,

  I have an AR12 report that I tried upgrading to an AR13 report. In doing so, the Picture object on my report lost its image reference. I tried recreating the reference, but it didn’t work correctly. I have attached images showing my report before the upgrade and after the upgrade.

  Hello,

  I could observe the issue at my end where a Picture control loses reference to an image on converting from ActiveReports 12 to ActiveReports 13. However, on setting the image reference again, it works normally.
  
  Please inform about the issue you observe while setting the reference again. Also, how do you set the image reference?
  
  I reset the Image property of Picture control by picking up the image from a particular local directory.

  Best Regards,
  
  Esha

  Hi Esha,

  I tried that. First, it does not embed the image in the report as it did in AR12. It just shows the directory link. I then tried saving the report and reopening the project. The image was gone again. Please see the image attachments.
