Steinar,

Are your exhibits "true text"? Only true text exhibits can be embedded TMG
Reports. From HELP in TMG:

NOTE: While any type of file may be included as a text
exhibit, only true text exhibits (.TXT) will be included
in reports. Internal text exhibits can only be .TXT files.
When you select "Insert new text" and link to an "external
file", the filename you enter is automatically inserted into
the Topic field in the exhibit.

Wholly Genes, Inc.

I just added an external Word file, an external pdf file and an internal
text file to one tag and ran an IN. Only the internal text file printed.

The same is true for images added as external files. If added using the
"insert new image" the picture will print in TMG. If you add the same image
as an external file, it won't.

Using internal files grew the size of my TMG database and backup too much.
Also, Second Site uses only external files. So I have switched them all to
external files except the few portrait images I have. For those, I do both
so they show up in Second Site or printed TMG reports.

Are you exhibits internal or external?

Jan
