Thank You Andreas,

in fact it was a great idea, I really needed to upgrade to OOo 3.2 and
the SRB is also something I really need (don't kidding). So now, do You
mean that I should create a table with picture names?

Thank You again

Tomas

Hello,

many thanks for Your kindness, but it is still too tricky for me (never
used any report building before). I simply don't understand how it
works, I am totally confused with "binding to content" ... how and what
content?

OK, maybe next time, I am really in a hurry now, I will paste pictures
one by one, it looks faster ...

Anyway, I will need this report in a close future, do You know about a
useful tutorial for dumbs like me?

Many thanks again

Tomas
