Hello,

I would like to do the following:

I have a report that has a background image stored in the layout.

If I then start the report with Run from the development environment, then the image is also printed in the background.

Now the report does not always have only one page, but often consists of 3 pages.

Now the background image on the first page should be different than on the following pages.

Is there a possibility to store different background images for different pages?

So that on page 1 I always have the image "Image page 1" as background and from page 2 I always have the image "Image from page 2"?

Thank you very much ;)

This looks very good, unfortunately my report has neither a header nor a footer. It only consists of a body and I believe that the PageNumber function only works in the header and footer.

Hi, You can do this with the IIf function. Conditions can be defined according to your needs.

The following is a simple example with Background color. (Sorry I didn't find a report with Background image.)

=IIf(Globals.PageNumber>1,"Tomato","Olive")

Layout:

Hope this will help.

Thanks.

Ok, but no one has verified this answer...

I found this post:

social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../conditional-background-image

But this is also not working.
