Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we deliver the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

When I insert the company logo into the page setup, Footer section of reports, P3 gives the following message.

"The selected file C:\LOGOS\COYLOGO.BMP is in an unreadable format"

It always worked in the passed, what could have gone wrong? What can I do to get my LOGO onto the printed page?

Ronald,

As you stated, it worked before. The problem happened after installation of another graphics software like photoshop or ACDSee, etc.

There are two solutions.

1). Go to Window explorer. Select View, Options. Click on the File Types tab and associate the .BMP files with MSPAINT. Then, check if this work. If not, do 2nd option.

2).Do a REGEDIT. Go to Start, Run and type the word "REGEDIT" in the open: command line and then click OK button. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT: Select the .BMP folder. Edit the Default value to be "Paint.Picture". You may need to remove the current logo, close the project, then re-insert it.

The above solutions will sure fix the problem.

Cheers!

Jaime

Hello Suksmono,

I encountered the same problem before. What i did was to save the logo into .pmt. It was behaving abnormally but after some time, the logo started to appear constantly.

I hope this will help.

Cheers,

Charlie

I’m getting frustrate with attaching logo into P3 report as well.
I have used the logo with .bmp, .pmt, .wmf, or even word file and it works, the logo appears on print preview.
However, every time I print out the report include with attached logo, P3 always shows printer error message, either I make print out in pdf file or hardcopy.

What is wrong with my P3? Is there any solution for this problem…

None of the solution works 100%
when i raised this question sometime before i got all these answers

here is a sure solution

create a word file (ms word)
paste your logo there , modify it (if you Want)

name it and save it

now in the logo selection

select "word document "

voila

now your logo will be there

remember
when you open this project the ms word will also opens and your logo file also opens !!!!!

now minimise the P3 window and close the "logo word" file Only
DONT CLOSE THE MS WORD PROGRAMlet it run in the background

now
go back to p3 print prewiew the logo will be there

100%

Make The logo AS big as possible in ms word


This Will Work

Or Shoot ME

I have had the same problems with .bmp files.
With wmf files there are no such problems.

Good luck!

Hi,
You will need a PMT File format in order to insert the logo.

Hello Ronald

Probably your logo file is too big... my suggestion is that you could cut&paste in paint applet and save as bmp or jpeg format but try to reduce the size of your logo... or you might as well follow Dattatreya’s way...

Regards,

Christian

look for prmdraw.exe in your system (c:\p3win\progs\prmdraw.exe)
open the application, open the required logo in any other applcation, copy the log & paste in prmdraw file & save).
hope this solves ur query

The Best way seems to be
" Copy the image & paste it in a *.pmt file, save it in a *.pmt file & then use the same in the page set up"

It will hardly be unsuccessful.

Hope it works.

This happens often to me as well. I never found out the reason.Try an other format: e.g. put your logo in a word file.
