Photos in reports

Am attempting to generate descendants reports which includes photographs attached to events. While the click box to do so seems to be there, the check is not holding when I close the interface entry screen, and the photos are not being attached to the descendant report (no matter which flavor of descendant report I attempt to do so).

Specifically, I'm wanting to include already attached tombstone photos from the "buried" field "+" menu to the report.

Any ideas?

BTW, this IS working the way I want it to on the "Individual Sheet" report.

Thanks!!

Joe

strange,

It's very doable in FTM 16. I've received several different registers from FTM users which include the event photos.

Even stranger that the click box is included in the current Legacy options interface, but seeming not functional.

You're not the only one asking now :-)

Thanks!!

One method might be to create a new type of report which would combine/attach the already functional individual sheets in descending order. This would allow the developer to leave the paragraphing existent as it is, and still allow those of us wanting to have the photos attached to data fields to have the functionality that at least 2 of us want.

(insert a grin there, please)

I'm not a computer programmer, so maybe I'm asking for the moon here, but since Legacy can already generate .pdf files of the individual reports, I suppose I could make the individual reports myself, then combine the individual pdf files into what I'm looking for, but it surely would be more convenient if that linking functionality was already embedded into Legacy itself.

Thanks for the response Brian!
