  Hi guys,

  Hoping someone can help me with this one. I'm trying to export a report to excel with a number of tabs. The first tab is designed to be a cover sheet which includes an image. I wanted to overlay text on top of the image so initially I went with the process of importing a rectangle and setting its background image value to the image I wanted.

  Although this appears correct in preview and in PDF format, the image does not display in excel. After doing a bit of digging I found that this is one of the limitations when export to excel.

  I took an alternative route, I set the body background image of the report to the image value. Again this works correctly in preview and pdf but when exporting to excel it repeats the image even though the repeat property is set to Clip.

  I've tried the other repeat properties but they all result in the default repeat style. Could it be that there's an issue with a dll or something else that I'm missing? My options are limited as the client wants the text to overlay the image as it is a reporting standard used with all other MI.

  Any help is always appreciated.
