Hi all I was wondering how to use an excel sheet to insert logos like home and away logos. I have got it working where I can insert a number and it will put it into the correct tab field but I dont know how (or if) I can do this with images (logos). Does anyone out there do this? Can anyone help? Thanks

You can link to images by using the same technique you used for the text. In the Excel spreadsheet you have to enter the whole path of the image into a cell(i.e. i:\Football\HomeTeam\LogoLarge.jpg), and don't forget the file extension. In Lyric select the image that you want to be updateable, right click and select 2D Object Properties. In this window you will see a DB Link button like the one you used in the templates. From here on you know what to do. It is now the same as the text. NOTE: Remember to define a name for the column with the images in the Excel file and make sure that the images will always be in the file path entered into the spreadsheet!

Good Luck.
