Since Crystal doesn't support a GIF, you probably want to embed a OLE object such as Microsoft Photo Editor object (or any OLE application that can display a GIF), and open the existing file.

You should see the photo from within Photo Editor in your report.

Insert->OLE Object->Micorsoft Photo Editor->then place the photo->Select Open an existing picture and point to your GIF
